At MIT in Summer!

[Phoestre]

<p>Hey guys,
I have just learned that I have been accepted for MIT Junction!
I have several questions to ask regarding the summer time in and around MIT(precisely June 29-August 11). I'm not from MA so I have to find housing since MIT doesn't offer any housing for ESP participants. If I find a FSILG housing, I'll probably stay alone, otherwise I'll be probably with my dad.</p>

<p>1) I have been checking through both MIT and CC website for off campus housing advices. Does any of you recommend a specific website for housing(preferably one you had experience with)? I read in CC that some FSILGs rent the rooms to outsiders in summer(btw I'm male), do you know any that does or should I call FSILGs one by one o.O?</p>

<p>2) I have been told that real MIT classes aren't held during the summer. However I wonder that will the offices, libraries and labs be open during that time? If libraries are open, can I use them?</p>

<p>3) Can I use internet in campus with my notebook? It seems that is not possible since I'll need to install the certificates, which are only available to MIT affiliates.</p>

<p>4) Are there any places do you recommend to visit for a non Boston resident? :)</p>

<p>5) Any ESP volunteers or ex-ESP participants who wishes to share their experiences/thoughts?</p>

<p>FSILGs rent out rooms to outsiders at times, but it’s risky for them to rent out to a high school student (below the age of 18?). You can go ahead and give them a call (yes, one-by-one – they don’t coordinate with each other), but I wouldn’t expect much luck there. If your dad is coming out and renting an apartment (or already lives here), I’d just go with that.</p>
