Our house is located in Boston and overlooks the tree-lined Commonwealth Avenue Mall, which is excellent for tossing around a football or frisbee or reading on a park bench. One block away is Newbury Street, world famous for its restaurants, boutiques, and stores. A short walk brings you to Fenway Park, the Prudential and Copley malls, Boston Common, the Boston Public Library, as well as countless clubs and restaurants. Also, with the Copley T station two blocks away, all of Boston can be reached in minutes. Oh yeah, and MIT is only a five minute bike ride away.

We live in a four-story, century-old brownstone in Boston's affluent Back Bay complete with walls, floors, and ceilings. What?!? Want more? Well, we have an open kitchen (no sign-ups, no hassles) to hone those gourmet chef skills, a roof deck, which is perfect for sunbathing in the summer, and a T1 connection to MIT's computer network. It isn't necessary to own a computer, though, as brothers are always willing to share theirs.

Also, for those times when you need to unwind after finishing twenty hours of problem sets, you can enjoy cable TV, a VCR, a new tournament-sized pool table, and a new ping pong table. We've even got a sizable stash of LEGO's. Catering to those of you who stick to a one use-per-wash underwear policy, in our basement we have industrial-strength washers and dryers.

Our house is in the Back Bay near the Prudential Center ( the tower on the right). PKT is three blocks from the river and a five minute bike ride from campus.

We also subscribe to the Boston Globe to keep you informed of life outside of MIT. If you plan on getting away from school, you can park your car in our seven-car lot out back. Finally, you get five home-cooked meals a week, prepared by our chef. All this for only about $4500 a year, less than most living groups at MIT.
