Enjoy entrepreneurial Boston

Living in Boston is the best way to learn about the culture of the USA – one of the world’s most important markets. During your time at MIT Sloan, you’ll extend your network of friendships and professional relationships. 

As a part of your immersion program, you will visit several Boston-based companies and learn about their back-stories and how they were able to achieve success in a truly inspiring location. Whether you are attracted to the prestige and scale of a global conglomeration or the risk and quirks of a start-up, a wealth of diverse companies call Boston their home. 

Campus life at MIT Sloan

The MIT Immersion offers not only a unique learning experience but also a very different living experience. During your time on campus you have everything that you could ask for quite literally on your doorstep, from MIT`s own museum showcasing research and innovation to the visual arts centre offering contemporary artistic inspiration in its most unique form.

In addition you are also able to participate in the wide range of social events taking place on campus. So if you fancy trying your hand at sculpting a bonsai tree or learning how to homebrew why not give it a go whilst at MIT! An equally vast array of sporting activities also ensure that you don’t just need to be a Red Sox armchair supporter. Remember, networking does not just happen in the classroom or the boardroom.
