Tell About Your Hovse!

<p>The housing system sucks… I’m not particularly happy with the Hovse (hint) I got into (I ranked it 5th), and whenever I walk to another Hou/vse to meet with some of my frosh friends, there are actually people who say… “Hey! You’re a [insert name for person in my house]! Why are you over here?” In other words, unless you have a really dominating personality, you’ll feel uncomfortable in any other house (I consider myself to be very friendly but not especially talkative). In addition to that, it’s amazing to see how few friendships there are across House lines. As a result, it is extremely hard to change House memberships. So pretty much, if you don’t like the house in which you’re Rotated into, you’ll be unhappy for the rest of your Caltech career. I already feel bitter about my Housing situation, and I definitely am not doing as well as I should in my classes as a result.</p>
