<p>I just got accepted to a summer program at MIT and I'm wondering if someone could tell me about what it's like over the summer. Do a lot of students stay around? Is there still a lot happening on campus (student activities, parties, etc.)?</p>
<p>Students do stick around, usually for UROPs or internships in the area. Nowadays they keep ~3 dorms open for MIT students – you’ll probably be in a different one for your program.</p>
<p>Certainly, there are fewer students during the summer compared to term time – activities will still run, but there are generally fewer parties.</p>
<p>Congrats! Which program? I didn’t think RSI or MITES acceptances were out yet.</p>
<p>^Not for high school, I think OP is already in college(Brown).</p>
