Welcome to Baker House

    A Note from Current Residents:

    Hi, everyone! If you are looking for a great place to live on the water with excellent proximity to campus and great people, Baker is the place for you! A diverse community, with many athletes and scholars from around the world, Baker is a place where everyone becomes comfortable with everyone. The social spaces are always used to hang out and study, and the rooms are nice and open to everyone. Baker also has a great dining hall right downstairs that attracts students from other dorms to come and eat. Every room has a sink, which proves incredibly useful, and comes with nice furniture and oftentimes couches. The Baker residents are known for being very social and friendly, and so Baker tends to become a place to congregate on the weekends to hang out, or on weekdays to work in the lounges! Overall, Baker is a great community where you can meet great people, make great friends, and have a ton of fun while making your way through an awesome time here at MIT!

    Baker House is one of six in-house dining communities and residents are required to enroll in a minimum meal plan based upon class year.  MIT Dining partners with Bon Appétit to provide an all-you-care-to-eat option within the residential dining hall. Please see the MIT Dining website for additional details. All students are encouraged to consider their meal plan options when choosing their housing preferences.
