Guide to Student Resources

The information on this page was compiled by the Student Resource Service. This group seeks to inform students about the resources that are offered to them throughout the Institute, but that they might not be aware of or know how to access. Members of the Student Resource Service are located throughout the residences, and act as knowledgeable peers to whom others can turn to for information. To ask a question about MIT resources, or to find out about joining the Student Resource Service, contact resources@mit.edu.
