<p>My daughter was accepted to a summer program at Caltech and now can choose either North or South house. Any suggestions, advice or links to information about those dorms? (I think they are dorms; Caltech's website does not seem to have any information.)</p>
<p>Choose a South House: recently renovated, has air conditioning, mostly singles.</p>
<p>North houses are mostly doubles, so if she chooses to live in a North house, she'll have a roommate. That can be tons of fun if she wants one.</p>
<p>Honestly, I would ignore everything else and just ask your daughter if she wants a roommate. If she does, she should select a north house, if not, a south house.</p>
