<p>Hello, I am a member of the class of 2016 who selected East Campus as their first choice dorm. I got a good vibe from them after watching the i3 videos. However, I was wondering if someone could talk about the indidual culture of the halls? The website was less than helpful.</p>
<p>I’m also a prefrosh, and at CPW I went on a couple tours of East Campus (it’s also my first choice) and saw each hall. I actually wouldn’t worry about each hall yet - we will get to see that all during REX. Each of the halls are really different - like I loved first west because it was really chill and people played guitar but then third east seemed really fun. It’s difficult to define each one without living there yet, maybe try posting on the facebook group? I’m sure one of our current students there could help!
And for more information, the website is actually really helpful. If you click on each of the halls here [East</a> Campus Halls](<a href=“http://ec.mit.edu/halls.shtml]East”>East Campus Halls) it takes you to the website of that hall. You can tell from the descriptions how serious each hall is about everything (and also how obsessed they are with painting/hacking/standardmitactivities) but honestly visiting is the best thing you can do, it feels awesome to walk through those halls in person.</p>
<p>EC FTW!!! My first choice as well!</p>
<p>This is perfect!!! <a href=“http://web.mit.edu/duncant/Public/East_Campus_Culture_Report_2008.pdf[/url]”>http://web.mit.edu/duncant/Public/East_Campus_Culture_Report_2008.pdf</a></p>
<p>^Just remember that this report is from four years – an entire generation of students – ago. Things do change, which is why people here tend to be hesitant about stereotyping dorms or sub-dorm housing units for prefrosh.</p>
