the best? calhoun, obviously. :D

seriously, though, don’t stress about it. there is no ‘best’ college, just as there is no ‘worst.’ and the college you’re in doesn’t ultimately determine all that much except for location and the quality of your room. for example, calhoun’s dining hall is definitely one of the worst, but it’s not as if you can’t go eat in any other college (with the exception of berkelely) whenever you want. i guess a renovated college is preferred, as is a college that’s closer to the center of campus, but even the un-renovated colleges (like calhoun) aren’t bad at all.

but honestly, it’s really pointless to even think about which colleges you want/don’t want because residential college assignments are completely random (unless you’re a legacy), so there’s no point in getting your hopes up since there’s only a 1 in 12 chance that you will get your college of choice. rest assured, you WILL come to love your college. i promise you this: whichever college you get will be awesome…just not as awesome as calhoun. :D
