Description of the Dining Community

East Campus is a cook-for-yourself dorm; residents are not required to be on the meal plan. If your heart still yearns for MIT dining hall food, you can opt into the meal plan anyway, but we’re a tad far from the campus dining halls—if only for the sake of walking fewer steps per day, consider learning how to cook.

“Cook” has a flexible definition. At the very least, you can learn how to pour hot water over ramen or microwave dinosaur chicken nuggets. Some halls have co-ops or cooking groups that take turns making dinner for each other. And as with anything else in EC: if you want to learn more, just ask.

Also, our Head of House Sandy Alexandre provides free dinner around every week at an MIT dining hall (also known as “free swipes”).

(If the thought of cooking still offends you, not to worry--we’re a couple cartwheels away from Kendall Square, which has more than enough places to eat.)

Questions

What supplies are provided in the kitchen?

How are kitchens physically distributed?

Each of our 10 floors has a large, shared kitchen.

How is access to the kitchen(s) determined?

Typically (and most-conveniently), you use the kitchen on your floor, which is just a few footsteps from your room.
