MIT Dorms Ranked

"The building is older and looks kinda dingy, but is well kept. The rooms are fine, nothing stands out as a real negative or positive. If you get lucky, you can get a room with a great view of the river. There's a lot of athletes that live in this form who all have their own team cultures, so Baker kind of lacks the cohesive culture that a lot of MIT dorms have."

"The rooms are pretty big for doubles, and the suite style living can’t be beat, having a kitchen, lounge, and bathroom all right outside your door. Bathrooms are cleaned by staff, but you have to clean the kitchen yourself which may cause problems with several busy college students sharing the space. The windows are also pretty drafty, I’ve had the wind literally put them open (they are horizontal not vertical opening). Location is pretty good, but not as close to campus as I may want. The community is great though. Undergoing renovations in 2020 supposedly (idk with Covid)"

"One of the most supportive dorm communities on campus in my opinion! Amazing staff and head of house; really helped me feel like I was part of a community on campus. Facilities are somewhat lacking as it is an old dorm, but it still offers a lot of amenities and the community here more than makes up for it. The rooms are all relatively large except for singles in the East Tower."

"Crazy place in the best way possible. I grew up here, saw and did things I never could have imagined and met the awesomest people. Cannot overstate the power of the East Side."

"The Community is amazing Offering many different clubs Most Nexties stay in Next all 4 years (the dorm with the highest retention rate) because the community is really great. Of course, you can still be very involved on campus, but you can always know that you will be coming home to a great family and community The distance is good way to get some exercise into your daily routine (which you will need because Next Dining food is pretty good)"

"Newly renovated and filled with huge kitchens and cozy lounges. Strong house culture - one of the most inclusive dorms from what I've seen. Distance can be annoying for getting to class in the morning but wasn't a dealbreaker for me. It's also right next to Next and Simmons which are the best dining halls (though a lot of people cook for themselves)"

"The facilities in this dorm are very nice and up-to-date including a gym and lounge spaces. It's a more modern dorm with pretty spacious rooms, and most people will get their own bathroom or have to share with one other room. Dining hall food is pretty good as well. The only down side is it's one of the farther dorms from campus."

"SO CLOSE TO CAMPUS! you are able to wake up 5 minutes before the hour and not be late to class. would highly recommend! rooms are large and have thermostats and everything is in really good condition (maseeh is super new and used to be a hotel). the hallways have AC so hot days are way more bearable than in other dorms. the one drawback is that if you like to cook, there's only one small kitchen in the basement."

"Probably one of the best dining halls and has a new, clean vibe to it. I really liked the rooms and the building layout."
