BonePW 2024
Welcome to EAsT camPUS CPW 2024.
Add yourself to our mailing list!!!!
BonePW (Bone Preview Weekend), also referred to as CPW (Campus Preview Weekend), is a great opportunity to come see what campus is like. It's a weekend filled with events hosted by every department, club, and living group at MIT. Prefrosh are hosted with current students and actually experience living at MIT.
At East Campus, we have plenty of events going on at all times. Stop by if you want to grab a (potentially veggie) World Famous rush burger, dye your hair, take a (virtual?!) tour, relax, and who knows what else.
Things are a little weird this year in terms of location, since our dorm is a little shy (temporarily closed for renovations). Instead, we can be found everywhere from some random field to Walker Memorial. Individual events will of course have locations listed on the schedule below, and all such event locations are highlighted on the map above.
If you don't know where to go: try coming to one of our 3 main locations: Field A, the EC Stud Space (W20-006), or the Stud Multi-Purpose Room (W20-401). If you need any help finding something, please ask! Also use this to generally help you find your way around.
Here's our schedule of BonePW events. Look out for some events that are only found on the official East Campus schedule!
You can import this event list to your Google Calendar.
