Hello gorgeous Off-Campus people,

For the month of February, we ease your way into the semester after the long break with a pre-Valentine's Day Movie at Brattle Theatre and the Hot Chocolate Experience at Met Back Bay! So get out of your labs and come chill with some really awesome people! See below for more details.

How does it work? You sign up for the lottery on the signup link of the month:    https://signup.mit.edu/och_february2018
If you are lucky, an email will be sent to you with the details of the event.

As always, if you have a suggestion for an event or an issue regarding off-campus life that could be relevant for discussion with the GSC, please let us know. If you have an event that you would like advertised to this list, use this form: http://goo.gl/QtXtNP .

Best,
