REX 2024 runs from Sunday August 25, 2024 to Wednesday August 28, 2024.

REX

REX (Residence EXploration) is a fun time filled with tons of events that will help you get to know the different residential communities at MIT. For those of you who haven't already decided where you're going to live, REX is the perfect time to explore MIT's dorms and pick the place where you fit in best with the culture and residents. For the rest of you, REX is a great opportunity to find out about the different parts of campus that you otherwise might not experience. Most of all, REX is a time to enjoy yourself, meet as many people as possible, freshmen and upperclassmen, and get a feel for what MIT has to offer socially.

FYRE

FYRE, the First-Year Residence Exchange, is a system that allows you to request to swap from your temp dorm into another dorm you'd prefer living in. Different people are drawn to different communities, and we want everyone to be placed where they'll be happiest. FYRE will not move you without your consent - if you're interested in a different residence hall, we strongly encourage you to participate. You can find more information at studentlife.mit.edu/fyre.

DormCon

The Dormitory Council, or DormCon, is a student government body formed by the dormitory presidents to represent dorm residents and facilitate interdorm events. You're now a dorm resident, so DormCon represents you! Learn more about DormCon and how to get involved at dormcon.mit.edu, and either add yourself to the dormcon-announce mailing list or email dormcon-secretary@mit.edu to get invited to meetings. Enjoy the booklet we made!

How to Make the Most of This Guide

There is no wrong way to do REX. Plan it out carefully! Mark a couple fun-looking events and play the rest by ear! Wander aimlessly around campus until an upperclassman drags you into their dorm for a card game! Hit every single food event on the list! However you spend these first few days at MIT, remember that now is the time to make friends and make memories. When in doubt, heed the wise words of Ms. Frizzle: "Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy!"

With that in mind, here's a quick guide to the guide:

Mandatory Event Events that look like this are mandatory. Make sure you go to them, or you'll miss important information!
Signature Event @ Dorm This is Dorm's absolute favorite event. The Dorm REX chairs picked it because they think it'll be the most fun event out of all of REX and it'll do the best job of showcasing everything that's fantastic about Dorm! If you can only go to one event from Dorm, go to this one.

Also, look out for icons like 🍴 (food) and 🎉 (party), which will tell you some extra information about the event.
