The Fellows Family Experience

A rich—and rare—opportunity for family bonding

Many Fellows approach this year as a once-in-a-lifetime bonding experience with their partner and children, if they have them. And it can be as transformative an experience for significant others and families as it is for the Fellows.

With so many events designed to bring the MIT Sloan community together, families form lifelong friendships. Because so many of the Fellows' significant others are leaders in their fields, they enrich the program and add valuable links to your network.

5 family-friendly reasons to join the Fellows community:
  1. Significant others and families are an important part of the community and participate in social and cultural events throughout the year.
  2. Many significant others use this year to pursue educational opportunities in this intellectually stimulating metropolitan area.
  3. The robust significant others support system makes the transition to Cambridge more fun and less stressful than most global moves.
  4. For children of Fellows, this year can be a formative, confidence-building experience. They attend school in an area where cultural diversity is embraced and celebrated.
  5. Cambridge and the surrounding area offer excellent schools and is a cultural hub with museums, concert halls, parks, historic sites, shopping, and restaurants of every culinary description.

Partners and Families at MIT Sloan

At MIT Sloan, partners and families are an vital part of our community. Bringing your partner and children with you to MIT Sloan offers a unique, once-in-lifetime experience for the whole family. One couple did just that and shares their story.
