MIT is widely regarded as a magical place... if the MIT dorms were characters in Harry Potter, here's who they'd be.

Baker


Baker’s full of athletes who’ve always got their head in the game just like Quidditch captain Oliver Wood.


Burton Conner

Burton Conner is all about family and a resistance to authority, just like the oldest Weasley child, Bill.


East Campus

Vibrant personalities and hair are key ingredients to East Campus living that are mirrored in Nymphadora Tonks.

MacGregor

MacGregor makes its presence always known since it’s so tall and MacCon has the best means of satisfying late night cravings, something Ron Weasley would appreciate.

Maseeh


Classy and sophisticated, Maseeh residents get the most food and the shortest commute — sounds like someone’s father had something to do with this, Draco Malfoy.

McCormick

Studious, clever, and driven, the women of McCormick emulate Hermione Granger.

New House

Every once in awhile, New House has an accident... not unlike Seamus Finnegan.

Next House

Next House keeps doing amazing things like Next Haunt that come as surprises to the rest of campus — just like Neville who also became real awesome real fast.

Random

Small but with a big heart and full of kindness, Random is our favorite house elf, Dobby.

Senior House

Senior House is full of pranksters with a healthy disregard for authority who don’t actually need to be at MIT to be successful, just like Fred and George who brought excitement into the rest of the school. (Plus, Fred was taken from George unfairly and too soon, as were the 2020 Freshmen from Senior House...)

Simmons

Dreamy, far away, and full of color, Simmons is Luna Lovegood.

(Let's shed a tear for) Bexley

Mischievous and rebellious, Bexley is still not understood even now that it’s gone... just like Sirius Black.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
