<p>
Every Athena user has a locker (their home directory), which mounts at <tt>/mit/<username></tt>. From a technical standpoint, it is stored in the volume <tt>user.<username></tt> which is located at <tt>/afs/athena.mit.edu/user/<first letter>/<second letter>/<user name></tt>. For example, the user <tt>joeuser</tt> has a home directory that mounts at <tt>/mit/joeuser</tt>, is volume <tt>user.joeuser</tt>, and is accessible at <tt>/afs/user/j/o/joeuser</tt>. Lockers for projects, software, classes, living groups, and student groups are all mounted at <tt>/mit/<lockername></tt> and stored at various places in AFS.
