postdoc housing resources; MIT waitlist for grad housing (postdocs)

[Dana Bresee Keeth]

  Dear MIT Postdocs,

If you are looking for housing, there are sometimes options for postdocs 
on campus. Openings may occur throughout the year, in any month, but the 
waitlist just opened for the upcoming term (when spots are quite 
limited), and there will be another one in the fall for the spring term 
(when there are more spots available). Typically, openings are for 
single postdocs or couples, and not for families.

In addition, short-term/temporary on-campus housing may be available in 
the summer months and in the January IAP term.

*Note that you will need an MIT web certificate*.

*The information below is adapted from information received from the 
Graduate Housing Assignments Coordinator**_. Please address any 
questions to _**graduatehousing at mit.edu <mailto:graduatehousing at mit.edu>*__

If you are interested in on-campus housing for the fall of 2014 you can 
apply to the Graduate Housing Waiting List starting on July 1, 2014:

http://housing.mit.edu/graduatefamily/waiting_list_information

Here is some information on our residences:

http://housing.mit.edu/graduatefamily/residences

Here is some information on housing for MIT affiliates/visitors:

http://housing.mit.edu/graduatefamily/visitor_housing

If you would like temporary housing until your fall assignment is ready 
for you to move in to (assuming that you receive an assignment from the 
waiting list) or to have time to look for off-campus housing you can 
arrange for an on-campus sublicense:

http://housing.mit.edu/graduatefamily/sublicense_center

or temporary off-campus housing:

http://housing.mit.edu/off_campus/bbs_guesthouses_home_stays

For postdocs in the fall term, there is small possibility to get an 
on-campus housing assignment from the waiting list. Another waitlist 
opens in early December, with better availability for the spring.

Here is our off-campus housing web site:

http://housing.mit.edu/off_campus/off_campus_housing

  You will need an MIT web certificate to access the waiting list 
application, the sublicense listings, and the off-campus listings. 
Please contact your department to arrange for this. If you cannot get an 
MIT web certificate until you arrive, you can arrange for temporary 
off-campus housing for one week and then arrange for long-term housing 
when you arrive.

If you have any questions regarding any of this information please feel 
free to contact us.
