Blocking is every Harvard freshman’s nightmare, but at Yale, first-years know their fate right from the start. Incoming freshmen at Yale are assigned to “residential colleges,” the equivalent of Harvard houses, from the very first day. Yalies don’t have to pick and choose among their friends come March, and they don’t have to dread getting booted off a mile away from their closest buddies. On the other hand, they don’t have the option to choose their rooming/blocking groups from the freshman class as a whole. First-years have the option of transferring to another college after their freshman year, but according to Dean Meeske, Yale Dean of Administrative Affairs, very few students (only about 60 each year), decide to do so.
