Welcome to YaWHOI! 

Welcome to Woods Hole! We hope that this guide will make your stay in Woods Hole more enjoyable whether you’re here for five years as a Joint Program student, or just visiting for a few days. This guide contains restaurant listings and reviews, local shopping information, health care provider information for you and your pet, and details on recreational activities from surfing to movie theaters. The opinions contained within are those of the preparers and other students. As such they are not universal, nor are they the official opinions of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution or the MIT/WHOI Joint Program.

This guide was first prepared by 1996--1997 MIT/WHOI Joint Program Students and was actively maintained through 1998. The 2002-2003 print edition represented a major revision and update of the original, but the preparers remained indebted to the original authors for the framework and most of the listings. The 2008-2009 Student Reps have made some minor changes and we (2012-2013 reps) have now made this a wiki!
