Residential colleges

<p>After she got into Yale, my D said she would be fine with any college except Morse or Stiles. Naturally, she was assigned to…Stiles. And, worse, her freshman year was the year Yale was renovating a big freshman dorm, so instead of getting to live in Stiles’ lovely OC freshman suits, she was exiled to Swing Space. Tears and disappointment.</p>

<p>Until, that is, she actually got to Yale and got to know her fellow Stilesians. You can guess the rest of the story. They will be lifelong friends with an unshakeable bond to their as yet unrenovated, “ugly” college. </p>

<p>Also, in Stiles you get singles from sophomore year on, and they’re huge. The downside is no suites.</p>

<p>All this is completely beside the point, however, because you have no control over where you’ll end up unless you are a legacy and request your parent’s college.</p>
