LGO is not all work, we get to have a good time too. As part of our summer bonding we have thrown a number of happy hours, picnics, parties, and other excuses to forget about homework.
Boston and Cambridge both have some great bars and with most of us living in the city getting together after class or on the weekends is easy. None of the social events are required and people go to the ones they can make.
Cool things we’ve done this summer:
- Watched the 4th of July fireworks at the MIT sailing pavilion on the river.
- Small groups of people took weekend trips to New York City and Cape Cod, and other New England spots
- Celebrated a number of birthdays in many different ways
- A handful of Saturday picnics (there’s one today)
- Happy hours with our class, and mixers with people in the SDM program, and people in the MBA program
- Free concerts at the hatch shell on the river
- Variety of different “theme” parties
- Lots of other stuff I’m forgetting
Taking the time to hang out outside of class has helped us get to know each other and keep our sanity.
