<p>How popular is summer session at MIT? By that I mean, on the whole how many people will stay over the summer (both for classes and regardless of)?</p>
<p>Does Pass/NC still apply for post-freshman summer?</p>
<p>(yay 14^2 post)</p>
<p>There aren't that many classes offered during the summer at MIT, and most of the classes I know of that are offered are math classes (18.02, 18.03, 18.06). Not a huge number of people stay to take classes, mostly because you have to pay tuition; most of the people who stay are either trying to get ahead in their math sequence or failed one of their math classes in the spring. A/B/C/no record would not apply for the post-freshman summer.</p>
<p>If you're interested in taking classes over the summer, the more popular option is to live in the MIT dorms and take classes either at BU or Harvard, since they both offer a wider range of summer class options.</p>
<p>A lot of people do stay at MIT for the summer, though -- working at UROPs or internships in the Boston area. About a quarter of my dorm stays for the summer. I'm not sure if we're atypical, but that sounds about right to me (perhaps a little low).</p>
