Welcome to German House!

About Us

Living

In German House, you'll live with 28 students in an independent community inside New House. We eat together, play music together, speak German with poor accents together, and fight through psets together. We're into playing games with each other, from smash, to jackbox games, codenames, and more. One of the great things about German House is that the community is small enough to know everyone, but large enough that there is always someone in the lounge to hang out with.

Cookcrew

German House keeps you well-fed with home-cooked meals. You will become a member of a cook crew of 4 or 5 people, and cook for everyone once a week in the best kitchen of any dorm here at MIT. The rest of the week, you will benefit from the culinary skills of other members. On any given night, our meal could include quinoa salads, fried rice, honey-glazed baked chicken, oreo truffles, and sometimes even the occasional surprise created from any extra ingredients left over from the week. You can check out our recipes here!

Culture

German House members come from all over the world. People here grew up speaking English, German, Chinese, Swahili, Korean and more. Several of us speak a fluent German, and others have taken German classes in high school and MIT. Our common interest in the culture ties us all together -- some people spend entire summers working in Germany; while some travel to Germany over IAP. Others simply want to practice the occasional German on duolingo, or even just watch German movies once in a while.

Hi I'm Jorian!! I'm double majoring in Courses 16 and 8 and am consistently taking too many classes because I have too many interests. I’m on Rocket Team and, uh, that’s pretty much my entire personality in a few sentences.

Hallo und herzliche willkommen im Deutschen Haus! Ich bin Tamara und ich möchte vielleicht eine Aerospace Ingenieurin werden! Ich war schon zweimal im Deutschland und ich habe Familie in der nehe von Rammstein Airforce Base in Landstuhl. Allerdings komme ich eigentlich aus Texas (aber ich hasse Texas, oopsies). Ich studiere Deutsch als Nebenfach, also bitte fragen Sie mich, wenn Sie auch Interesse oder Fragen daran haben! Ich mag Essen und ich koche und backe gern. Ich mag mit schwer Gewichte trainieren und ich mache Kickboxen (Ich bin ein gewalttätiger Mensch). Kaltes Wetter und regnen gefallen mir. Ich trinke zu viel Wasser. Schwarzer Kaffee ist am Besten. Schokolade bringt mir Glück. Sicherheit geht manchmal vor. Gesundheit. Willkommen im Deutschen Haus!
