Would MITers comment on Dorms and Meals

Since the dorms are not on the tours–
can sone one touch on the kitchen spaces?
Are they cleaned? Are they full sized?
How many students share them? How big is the fridge?</p>

<p>How often does a student shop–is there room to freeze/store meats/poultry/produce for each student?

It varies by dorm.</p>

<p>In MacGregor, where I lived, the kitchens are shared among the residents of a suite (6-8 people), and include a full-sized freezer/fridge. Some people also keep mini-fridges in their rooms. The kitchen floors are cleaned by dorm cleaning staff daily, but students are responsible for cleaning the stove, dishes, sink, etc.</p>

<p>I think I went to the grocery store about once every other week or so. There are several grocery stores within walking distance or T distance of MIT dorms, as you can see on [this</a> map I made](<a href=“Boston-area stores - Google My Maps”>Boston-area stores - Google My Maps).</p>

<p>FWIW, for students admitted to MIT, there are many opportunities to explore and tour different dorms and FSILGs during Campus Preview Weekend in the spring.</p>

^ you get a kitchen in the dorm? Does that apply to freshmen as well? Also, are there separate bedrooms?

There are no freshmen-only dorms at MIT, so any dorm that has kitchens has kitchens for freshmen and for upperclassmen to use. The dorms at MIT vary in many ways, including the number and size of kitchens and the number of students per bedroom.</p>
