postdoc housing resources; MIT wait list 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 a 
new  wait list will open on December 8 for the upcoming term (January 5 
onwards). Generally there are more openings for the spring term than 
there are in the fall. 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 spring 2015 (offers begin 
on Jan. 5), you can apply to the Graduate Housing Waiting List starting 
on December 8, 2014:

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.
