MIT is an "open" campus, in the sense that anyone can enter the buildings and go in the libraries or just look around.
(Well, almost. The doors are mostly unlocked all day and night, but if you're wandering the halls at 3 in the morning and you don't look like a student, the campus police are going to ask you some questions.)
One of the nice features about the campus is that the main academic buildings are connected to each other, either directly or via tunnels and skyways. This means that you don't ever have to step outside when you go from class to class, a real plus during the wintertime.

Very true. I occasionally walk over to the libraries when I need to hunker down and do some work/research. Fortunately, I look like a student...
