Yes. The student body is infuriated and wishes that Hockfield would stop trying to make it into Yale.


Any student, regardless of whether they are on Preferred Dining or not (unless you are in a dorm where you’re required to buy in, I would not recommend it), can buy food at any Campus Dining facility.


The upside is that they found a community that they like better off campus. It’s that simple. It’s not about “fun” on-campus vs. off, really, because everyone has a different idea of what’s fun. It’s about most people at MIT prioritizing having the best social support possible for themselves over anything else in making their living decisions, including convenience (though it’s really nice, IMO, when the best social support for you happens to be in a convenient location).
