<p>From talking to a couple of current students, they've made it clear that each dorm tends to attract a certain type of student.<br>
Could anyone attempt to stereotype the dorms and frats for me?</p>
<p>just found a nice thread from a few years ago:
<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/massachusetts-institute-technology/160915-what-best-dorms-worst-dorms-3.html%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/massachusetts-institute-technology/160915-what-best-dorms-worst-dorms-3.html</a></p>
<p>I want to reiterate that no matter what you hear and from whom you hear it,</p>
<p>Senior House is NOT A CRACK HOUSE.</p>
<p>It's a crack home.</p>

<p>There are some two dozen frats. This is non-trivial.</p>
<p>Are you going to CPW? Do that first.</p>
<p>Did you really just ask us to stereotype each other? I mean, I will certainly agree that dorms have different cultures and attract different sorts of people, but phrasing it "can you stereotype the entire campus for me?" is sort of bothersome....</p>
<p>the thing you should really take away from this thread is that burton conner is just like baker house</p>
<p>And that my kid lives in the hippie house.</p>
<p>also tep is the gay frat</p>
<p>Rar, Olo, watch it. =P</p>
<p>my words are the essence of truth distilled down to elemental honesty and poured into a mold of infallibility from which they form memorials of legitimacy and then I sprinkle some more certainty on top.</p>

<p>The Bad
Baker: the freshmen are annoying (unless you are a freshman)
Bexley: the seniors are annoying (unless you are a senior)
BC: not as diverse as they claim, just kind of their own thing
EC: some of them care too much, some of them don't care enough
MacGregor: they could all be annoying (who knows?)
McCormick: i'm not allowed in
New House: i was temped there, i left
Next House: it's a small pond
Random: they play fun games.. but only some of them
Senior Haus: i think olo lives there
Simmons: the architecture is the most interesting part</p>
<p>The Good
Baker: it's like summer camp
Bexley: you get to become a senior
BC: rugged cool
EC: you dont have to listen to those people
MacGregor: they could all be cool (who knows?)
McCormick: i'm not allowed in
New House: unique subcommunities
Next House: no sharks
Random: their culture is defined by only some of them
Senior Haus: olo will probably graduate eventually
Simmons: worst case, you can always go wallrunning</p>
<p>Don't forget that Simmons is the culture-less dorm! </p>
<p>(Actual comment: defining fraternities' culture can be very difficult. Not only because there's 27 of them, but because fraternities are even more fluid than dorms are.)</p>
