Cambridge MIT Campus Walking Tour - Current MIT Student Guide

Walk the campus with
a current MIT student

Meet at the main entrance of the MIT Stratton Student Center (Building W20) and walk the campus for 1.5 hours with your student guide. Tours run in a morning session (10:00 AM-11:30 AM) and an afternoon session (2:00 PM-3:30 PM), in small groups of up to 10, in both English and Chinese.

See the Infinite Corridor and the Great Dome

Feel MIT's energy as you walk the Infinite Corridor, where cutting-edge ideas flow every day, and see the Great Dome and Killian Court at the heart of campus. Admire architectural landmarks such as the deconstructivist Ray and Maria Stata Center and the MIT Media Lab, home to pioneers in AI, design and digital technology.

View the exteriors of key academic buildings and research hubs across the School of Engineering, the Sloan School of Management and the School of Architecture and Planning. You will also see the Charles River Esplanade and public art across campus, including works by Alexander Calder and Anish Kapoor.

Hear MIT stories only students know

Your student guide shares stories of MIT's most influential alumni, from Kofi Annan to Buzz Aldrin, along with insights on student life and campus tips. Learn about MIT's unique traditions such as the Brass Rat, the MIT Mystery Hunt, the Baker House Piano Drop and its legendary "hacks."

Chat with students at a campus dining hall

After the walking tour, enjoy a 30-minute Q&A with current students at a campus dining hall. Afterwards, feel free to keep exploring the campus, nearby museums or the scenic Charles River at your own pace.
