OK it’s official: my son told me that if he’s accepted by UChicago for Class of '23 he’ll be MORE THAN HAPPY to live in I-House. Didn’t ask him about Stony.
Then he said: “Wait, how far was the dining hall again???”
LOL
Should he make it a part of his “why UChicago” essay? 
Just wondering whether students who eat at the dining halls sit at the table where the flag of their house are hanging? Or are there defectors? lol
@uocparent Yes, students typically eat under their House banner, although they can be invited to eat with another House. There are also tables with no banners, where anyone can sit, including staff and the public. Those are also useful for when the student eats at a dining facility other than their assigned one.
According to my D, the law students at Cathey also tend to eat under those House banners . . .
