Boston can get pretty sleepy during January.  But, leave it to MIT to wake up your senses.  Now running for over 40 years, MIT’s Independent Activities Period (IAP) is a special four-week term of unique classes & activities, open to the MIT community (students, staff & alumni).

The schedule is organized by for-credit activities and not-for-credit activities.  The hundred’s of not-for-credit activities range from the Hummus Experience, plenty of opportunities to play quidditch, learning a foreign language and game nights.
