Housing for Programs and Conferences
During the summer months, we set aside a limited number of rooms in on-campus residences to accommodate attendees of programs and conferences affiliated with MIT.
Eligibility
Our available housing is currently reserved for returning groups. If you are a new MIT-affiliated program or conference, we encourage you to contact us! We also partner closely with MIT’s Conference Services for assistance with summer housing, as well as professional conference planning and registration services.
We are unable to offer guest housing for individuals. If you will be a guest of the Institute (researcher, visiting faculty, etc.) and need housing during the summer, visit:
- The Sublicensing Center — Short-term on-campus housing options
- Off-Campus Housing — Current listings near campus
Note: You will need MIT certificates to access these sites.
Amenities
All summer program and conference guests are housed in undergraduate residence halls. Amenities include:
- Basic furniture (bed, bureau, desk)
- Wireless internet connections (guests must provide their own computer)
- Shared bathroom facilities
- Laundry facilities on site (MY CSCGO)
- Convenient location within walking distance of public transportation (MBTA)
- 24-hour security desk staff
Billing
Conferences will be billed within 14 days of the end of the program. The cost per room/per night is:
- Single Occupancy (1 bed) — $94/night
- Multiple Occupancy (2, 3, or 4 beds) — $78 per bed per night
Please submit a journal voucher or provide payment information within five days of receiving the invoice. If you are unable to collect payments from conference participants or perform a journal voucher, contact Conferences Services for support options. Housing and Residential Services does not accept cash, wire transfers, credit/debit cards, or checks as payment.
