Partners, spouses and families of MIT Sloan students.

Welcome to the '26-'27 year!

Join the club Request WhatsApp invite

You moved here for someone else's degree.
So did we.

SOS is the club for the partners, spouses and families of MIT Sloan students: the people who packed up a life, often in another country, and landed in Cambridge not knowing anyone. We're the friends you haven't met yet.

🎉

Things to do

Picnics, dinners, pumpkin painting, pool nights. Socials all year, with or without your Sloanie, kids welcome.

💬

100+ people on WhatsApp

Where someone always knows a good doctor, a cheap gym, or which neighborhood to pick.

🤝

People who get it

Visas, job breaks, new country, new language. Whatever it is, someone here has been through it.

Some of us have been here two years. Some arrived last week. Both are welcome, and nobody minds if you come alone.

HOW TO JOIN

Three steps, five minutes.

1

Get SO access

Your Sloanie fills in the Significant Other form.

2

Sign up on Sloan Groups to get event invites.

3

Say hi on WhatsApp

Send us a message with your name and your Sloanie's name, and we'll send you the invite link.

Good to know: membership is $15 for one academic year or $20 for two, paid when you join on Sloan Groups. It helps cover our events. And while you're at it, ask your Sloanie to request your MIT SO ID card: it gets you access to MIT facilities like the gym, plus student discounts (e.g. museums).

FAQ

Questions people ask

Can I come to events without my Sloanie?

Of course. Come with or without them. Lots of people come on their own.

Can I bring my kids?

Often, yes! Each event invite says whether it's kid-friendly.

How do I get started?

Have your Sloanie fill in the Significant Other form. That sets up your Sloan Groups account. Then join the club here.

Is there a membership fee?

A small one: $15 for one academic year, or $20 for two. You pay when you join on Sloan Groups, and it helps cover our events.

How do I log in to Sloan Groups?

Once your SO account is set up, log in here with the details your Sloanie receives.

Which other clubs can I join?

All of them :)

How do I get an MIT email?

Through an MIT guest account.

How do I get an MIT ID card?

Your Sloanie requests it: see MIT ID for spouses and partners. It gets you access to MIT facilities like the gym, plus student discounts (e.g. museums).

Who do I ask about anything else?

Us, at sos.officers.mitsloan@mit.edu. For official Sloan questions, the Student Life Office at slquestions@mit.edu.
