1. Will the new UG dorm (Ashdown) have its own house dining…curious…
(i.e like Baker/McCormick/Simmons)



Yes. Definitely. This is in fact the one thing set in stone about Ashdown, much to the dismay of the student body. MIT is already losing money on every other dining hall. People don’t like them and use them that much, and it would be so much better to just have kitchens on each floor (a la Macgregor, EC, Senior House, etc.).



2. …another question that popped up as I was looking at the campus map was how long it takes students in Burton-conner/Simmons to get to their Freshman classes typically during the winter… (how do they do it/walk/campus bus…?)



At most 10 minutes, from what I hear.



3. how do the students living in those ILGs/Greek houses
in Brookline/Boston get to campus… obviously they have more time
gone getting to classes and such, what is the tradeoff advantage? Is it
not more fun living on campus?



Depends on who you live with. MIT runs busses to every FSILG after 6:00PM, so it’s not that bad.
