Travel and Arrival

How to get to MIT

The MIT visitors guide has directions for getting to MIT from the airport, via public transportation and by car. The center is building W31 on the MIT campus map. Our street address is;

120 Massachusetts Avenue (corner of Mass Ave. and Vassar St.)
Building 31, Room 310

           Where to park

Parking in Cambridge and Boston can be expensive and hard to find.   Whenever possible, park your car at the hotel, and use public transportation to get to the MIT campus. If you must drive to the campus, on- and off-street parking is available for a fee, but most public parking is   not very close to the center of the MIT campus. More parking information is available at the campus map website

           Where to eat

During your course, light refreshments are generally provided in the morning and afternoon. Please refer to the course description to see if lunch will be provided. Unless otherwise noted, meals are not included in tuition.

Typical attire for the courses is business casual or casual. Weather in New England is quite variable and we recommend checking a weather forecast before packing.

            Daily Schedule

Typically, classes begin at 9:00 a.m. and end at 5:00 p.m., with short breaks in the morning and afternoon and an hour break for lunch. Participants receive more detailed schedule information two to three weeks in advance of the course start date.

Computer access

We recommend that you bring a laptop if you will need a computer during your stay. You will not have access to MIT computers, except for classroom use if required for the course.

Continuing Education Credit

Earn Continuing Education Units

In addition to receiving a certificate of completion, MIT Center for Real Estate participants may earn Continuing Education Units (CEUs). Units for each course are calculated based on learning contact hours.  Each of the Center for Real Estate courses earn 1.5 units.

To earn CEUs

• Review the learning objectives (see course description)
• Attend both course sessions
• Provide feedback on your learning experience by completing and returning an evaluation survey on the last day of class.

Upon completion of the course and receipt of the feedback form, you will receive an email letter from MIT’s Professional Institute (http://web.mit.edu/mitpep/about/) awarding CEUs.

The Center for Real Estate has partnered with MIT’s Professional Institute, an Authorized Provider by the International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET), an organization that evaluates programs according to strict, research-based criteria and guidelines.

To understand whether or not these CEUs may be applied toward professional certification, licensing requirements, or other required training or continuing education hours, please consult your training department or licensing authority directly.
