New House - Houses at at Glance
The Numbered Houses
New House has an amazing mixture of people, cultures, interests, and activities. We house all of MIT’s cultural groups as well as five numbered houses, each with their own distinctive culture and each great in its own way. Our facilities are on par or better than those anywhere else on campus, with a laundromat, weight room, game room, study room, and courtyards readily available, and our GRTs and Head of House do their best to make living here as comfortable as possible--at least for MIT.
Chocolate City
Chocolate City is more than just a cultural house: it is home to about 30 men from all different backgrounds. It is a community that strives to promote each individual's ethnic identity as minorities as best as possible.
iHouse
The International Development House (iHouse), MIT's only living-learning community, is comprised of 21 undergraduates who are passionate about international development.
German House
German House is a small, cozy living group of 24 students inside New House. While we each have our own single, the lounge is a center of activity where we share 6 meals a week (that take turns cooking for the house) and more!
French House
We cook dinner together six days a week, with everyone taking a turn as a member of a four person cooking team. Making a mess of the kitchen once a week turns out to be a lot of fun.
