Welcome to Maseeh Hall

    A Note from Current Residents:

    Maseeh Hall. MIT's castle. Our home. Maseeh is the largest, best lit, and safest dorm around. Located at the center of student life, Maseeh is the most conveniently located residency and is the only dorm which serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late night dining!

    Maseeh’s motto is “Be you, with us.” As one of MIT’s most diverse residencies on campus, 500 undergraduates call Maseeh Hall their home. We have 12 Graduate Resident Assistants (GRAs), a visiting Resident Scholar (coming back soon!), Heads of House, Associate Heads of House, an Area Director, and a House Manager all living in this building and available to help residents with issues ranging anywhere from academics to personal concerns. Together, we strive to form a community where everyone feels valued and welcomed.

    Beyond just our building, one can find students of every background, course, and extracurricular activity working in our lounges and study rooms! Each of our seven floors is continuing to develop its own culture and community through throwing events, weekly study breaks, and group trips. As a house, Maseeh holds two formals each year, a Fall Formal and Spring Boat Cruise, with numerous events such as Maseehcre, Maseeh Cup, and dorm-wide merch distributions in between! Whether you like rock climbing, apple picking, bowling, or movies nights, you are bound to find events and entertainment that suit you!

    Open now for our twelfth year, we hope you will consider calling Maseeh your new home at MIT. And please feel free to reach out with any questions!

    Maseeh Hall 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.  The Howard Dining Hall in Maseeh Hall is located on the first floor of our building.
