We look forward to welcoming you to MIT and the Boston/Cambridge area!
Be sure to review the information in this section about preparing for your arrival to MIT, the cost of living, and initial expenses. And, if you will be a J-1 exchange visitor, be sure to also read the information about getting J-1 and J-2 visa stamps and health insurance requirements.
All new international scholars (including scholars who are already in the U.S. but new to MIT), no matter what their visa type, must register with the ISchO through the ISchO Portal. Please complete your registration as soon as possible upon starting your MIT appointment.
