interesting people



When I was an undergrad Snell-Hitchcock “interesting” meant lots of geeks, gamers, and hacker-types and higher than average occurrences of hair dye and Birkenstocks-in-the-dead-of-winter than your random UChicago sample.

And then you’ll graduate and attend a fair share of met-in-Snitchcock weddings :-)

One thing I will say about Snitchcock is that Scav Hunt is heavily ingrained into the culture. If you live in Snitchcock, you will most certainly scav, and if you don’t scav or aren’t into what scav culture sounds like, you’ll spend the whole year hearing about scav and you won’t be able to avoid it. If you live in another dorm that has a smaller scav culture (BJ, Pierce/Maclean, Max) you’ll only see scav for only four days a year and attend scav parties the rest of the year.

Max “types” are - stereotypically, at least- your bro next door. My impression was that Max kids didn’t have as much house culture and house allegiance, per se, but I’ve seen some kids who are very into Max P house life.

That said, you’re going to find all types in all dorms, so rank whatever you deem best fit for your needs.
