Haha, I don’t think I’ve ever had a day when I thought one pair of jeans wasn’t warm enough – you can get a nice long coat for that. I suppose you could also wear a pair of long underwear, but I imagine you would get really warm in class in long underwear and jeans.

I have a puffy ski jacket which I wear basically all winter, and a lined duffle coat for November/March-type weather. I currently have one pair of snow boots, but they’re not heavy-duty – just from Target.

You can also take the [Tech Shuttle](MIT Facilities - Commuter Connections) when it’s cold if you live on west campus. (If you live on east campus, you don’t need to take any shuttles. :))

You can absolutely get away with having one or two semi-formal dresses (i.e. not prom dresses, but nice dinner dresses). More than that would probably be overkill.
