<p>All the colleges are essentially the same. While they have their own customs and “personalities” that are self-fulfilling prophecies (it seems that you adopt your colleges persona during O-Week), every single college is built on the same concept. You will likely love whatever college you are put into just by virtue of how O-Week is set up. Colleges are fun and a good way to meet people and make friends, but they are limited to that. Your degree does not come from your college nor does your future. As a result, I fail to understand why a perceived slight to your college matters at all.</p>
<p>If you have the choice of being in Lovett or any college but Lovett, I mentioned that the latter would be the better choice. While Brown tower, Hanszen and Jones are worse residences in terms of overall building quality, selecting “Not Lovett” gives you a chance of being in Martel, Wiess, New Baker, New WRC as well as the two new colleges (all which have been build in the last decade).</p>
<p>Another factor is consider is that Lovett now has part of old-“new” Baker which was build about 60 years ago. The rest of this building has since been demolished.</p>
<p>In summary, my above comment was not about Lovett as a college, but Lovett as a building. If you want a shot at being in a newer building with more single rooms and large windows, pick the “Other” option. You will love your college regardless what happens though.</p>

<p>Out of curiosity, who is number 1?</p>
