IAP

IAP is period of hanging around on campus with no classes, with time to do your own damn projects on your own damn time. It covers all of the not-Winter-Break portion of January, and a week or two in February. Special classes, usually tilted more toward Awesome and less toward academic, are offered (possibly even for credit!) during IAP. In addition, several competitions are held during this time. Mystery Hunt, 6.270, and 6.370 will concern the entirety of campus. Bad Ideas concerns all of East Campus.

The State of the Hall

A large portion, but not all, of the hall population remains during IAP. This means ample amounts of gaming and other kinds of punt, and also ribbing those who choose to go home, since they are clearly No Fun Anymore and Used To Be Cool, What Happened To You Man?.
