This is where we show you why it is amazing to be in grad school, at MIT and at NSE!
The full list of MIT student groups is available at ASA (Association of Student Activity) website here. The following is some of the activities that we have enjoyed:
- MITOC (Will & Leigh Ann??)
- IM and Club sports (Becky & Lindsay?)
- PE classes, sports student clubs:
- PE: grad students can sign up for PE classes too (throught MIT rec sports' own website system at the beginning of each semester).
- Group exercise: MIT gyms offer group exercise classes throughout the day. See link. You need to purchase a pass to join these exercises, but there is one free session at noon Monday through Friday that everone can attend. Just show up 5-10 minutes early to make sure you get a spot. Also these sessions tend to be more crowded at the beginning of each semester.
- Student sport clubs: I have been enjoying MIT kickboxing club, which meets bi-weekly for 2 hours each. Most of these clubs have their own website so you can just google MIT followed by the club you are interested in. Also every semester there is one event typically at the basketball court in the big gym where all the student sport clubs have booths and you can figure out what you want to join.
In addition, there are other events that happen less frequently than club events:
- GSC events, listed here: http://gsc.mit.edu/committees/ac/
