A Comprehensive Guide to Course Lounges

A Comprehensive Guide to Course Lounges tl;dr: the google map of course lounges is here Here at MIT, because were edgy and unconventional, our equivalent to a regular colleges majors are called courses. We have a whole bunch of courses, a comprehensive list of which you can find here. Almost every course at MIT has their own course lounge a designated space for majors in each course to hang out, do their psets, and meet other people in their course. A few months ago, I had the idea for doing this post, but didnt actually know how many course lounges there were, or if all the courses even had a lounge. I also didnt know if people even liked their lounges or not. As a Course 6, I can firmly attest to the fact that our lounge sucks, and as a double major in CMSwell, CMS doesnt even have a lounge. 01 Neither does the entirety of Course 21, including all of its subcourses. Many months later, I present to you the results of my research 02 this literally took forever and its still missing some pictures rip . I obtained this data by polling ec-discuss via Google Form 03 the East Campus and friends mailing list , not getting enough responses on the Google Form and asking Abby to dormspam it because I was too scared of fucking it up, and getting an MIT Confession (the first, and only to date) made about me. One cool thing that came out of this was that a few CMS majors and I put the idea of having our own course lounge into the CMS departments head, so maybe thatll be something that happens in the next few years. The idea for this map came out of me being sad that I dont have a lounge to go to and meet other CMS majors 04 There arent very many of us so it would be cool to know all of them , so Im glad that it might happen! And to all the incoming prefrosh I wish I didnt need to say this, but please dont choose your course based on how nice the course lounge is :P Neither does the entirety of Course 21, including all of its subcourses. back to text ? this literally took forever and it's still missing some pictures rip back to text ? the East Campus and friends mailing list back to text ? There aren't very many of us so it would be cool to know all of them back to text ?
