Freshmen, it's here: Housing Day. Seeing as it may (or may not) define the next three years of your life, here are some tips so that you don't mess it up.", [])

This is the twelfth and last post in Flyby's 2013 Housing Market series. From all of us at Flyby, have a very happy Housing Day!

Quincy House has managed to maintain a strong sense of community this year despite the dispersion of residents in swing housing throughout the Square while Old Quincy undergoes renovation. Next year, the wait will be over, and Old Quincy will be the newest housing on campus. Those freshmen lucky enough to land a spot in (new) Old Quincy will find the best of both worlds—spacious, modern, and well-appointed\xa0rooms\xa0within a facade that maintains Harvard's neo-Georgian flair—all just steps from both the River and the Square.", [])

Every day between now and Housing Day, Flyby will release two new House rankings. The top two Houses will be revealed on Wednesday, March 13. Check back daily for updates!

Eliot historically housed the rich and the famous of Harvard undergraduates: those students with last names such as Cabot, Lowell, and Adams. Though housing randomization has done away with its exclusivity, Eliot\'s rich community and classic Harvard facilities make it one of the most desirable Houses on campus. With an expansive, hammock-filled courtyard, beautiful river views, and close proximity to classes in the Yard, residents are hard-pressed to name drawbacks of their beloved Domus. This year, Eliot maintains its second place position in the House rankings.', [])

Scott Brown, perhaps Massachusetts\'\xa0favorite Republican, is moving back into the private sector. The former U.S. Senator will transition from making laws to reading them when he joins Nixon Peabody, a respected Boston law firm, both parties announced Monday afternoon.', [])

Kirkland residents act like Yale students during Harvard-Yale weekend: they just can't stop telling you how great their House is and how much better they are by association. Sure, we'd like them to tone it down a bit and maybe stop making out with each other, but unlike the Yalies, Kirkland students genuinely have a lot to brag about. From the great location to the homey vibe, Kirkland looks like it's straight out of a Harvard catalogue, causing us to wonder why Mark Zuckerberg decided to leave early.", [])

This year, Adams House seems to be pushing its\xa0dining hall and\xa0gold digs as its main perks.\xa0But as anyone who knows and loves this occasionally war-mongering House will tell you, there\'s a lot more to Adams than meets the eye. A perennial favorite, centrally-located Adams is the House of gargoyles, gilded walls, and a whole lot more (the list, as you\'ll see, goes on and on).

The phrase, "I can see the SOCH from my House!" is not generally considered a good thing among Harvard undergraduates.

Throughout the (distinguished) history of Flyby House Rankings, Cabot House has been nowhere near the top five. In fact, the House has typically ranked in the bottom two. So what\'s changed? Not much, as it turns out. After our careful research, it comes down to this—Cabot has simply been underrated. Yes, it\'s in the Quad. But Cabot\'s large singles, abundant facilities, beloved House Masters, and overall pleasant atmosphere make it one of the more appealing Houses on campus.', [])

While Flyby\'s annual house rankings settle the best in housing, d-halls, spirit, and overall quality, there\'s always one other unspoken category: the housing day video.

And here\'s what we\'ve got so far:

Mather does its own version of the recent James Bond film in "Matherfall."

Kirkland House Master Tom Conley remakes Brad Pitt\'s too-deep Chanel Nº5 commercial.

Eliot repurposes Macklemore and Ryan Lewis\' "Thrift Shop."

Awkwardly, Cabot does too... a week later.

Lowell remakes Lil\' Jon\'s classic club hit in "Get Lowell." ("To the courtyard, to the bells!").

Pfoho does the Harlem Shake.

Winthrop spoofs the Game of Thrones teaser for their upcoming parody, "Game of Throp."

Quincy prepares their own "Epiq Meal Time."

Adams rides the "Les Miserables" bandwagon with "Do You Hear The Freshmen Sing?" and pulls a Kanye with "Gold Digger."

Dunster showcases its mascot the moose in a video based on the song "Sail" by AWOLNATION.

It looks like a lot of the standards—Thrift Shop, Harlem Shake—are being covered, but we at Flyby give props to Lowell and Adams for some killer throwbacks. We predict goats screaming like humans may be on the horizon for those houses that have yet to release videos. Let\'s just hope "Gangnam Style" is over.

Built in 1914 as freshman dormitories, Standish and Gore Halls were later united to form Winthrop House. In the years since its inception, Winthrop has certainly accumulated its fair share of famous alums, from J. Robert Oppenheimer \'26 to Barnett "Barney" Frank \'61-\'62, and plenty of Kennedys to boot. Situated less than five minutes from the Yard and directly facing the Charles River, Winthrop is one of the best-located Houses, and residents are pretty much guaranteed an incredible view from their bedrooms at least one year of their three-year stay. Though the rooms themselves may not be the best, Winthrop\'s architecture is, at the very least, nice to look at from the outside.

Lowell House is perhaps best known for its beauty. Few Houses rival the visual impact of the bell tower or the picturesque calm of the courtyard. But small, walk-through rooms and the incessant unskilled ringing of the House\'s infamous bells detract from Lowell\'s otherwise positive attributes.

This year, Pfoho relinquishes its crown as the highest ranked House in the Quad and descends to number 8 in Flyby's Rankings. But fear not, freshmen—those placed into Pfoho will have little to lament. Instead, they will celebrate spacious bedrooms, a magnificent lawn, well-equipped facilities, consistent shuttle service, and a vibrant House community.

Mather residents will be the first to tell you that the best thing about living in Mather is that you don't have to look at it. Inside the Brutal exterior, Matherites enjoy some of the nicest spaces on the river: singles all three years, a cozy dining hall with a river view, and spacious common spaces, among other top-notch amenities. Once you're in Mather, most say, you won't want to leave. The trouble is getting there in the first place. For all of the House's benefits, location is not one of them.", [])

If Houses had relationship statuses, Leverett would be the friend-zone. Between housing and the Masters, there's a lot to really really like, and yet Lev is still in search of love. All the descriptions below come with the huge caveat that Old Lev (McKinlock Hall) will be renovated next school year, improving housing, facilities, and the dining hall significantly. Perhaps puberty will succeed in catapulting this perpetually unobjectionable House into the hearts of millions. Or hundreds, at least.", [])

Dunster House was built in 1930, and has the history (and housing) to match. Sure the nine minute walk from Dunster to the Yard isn't exactly ideal and the housing is at best subpar, but Dunster makes up for its flaws with fantastic House spirit and a dining hall that serves the best you can expect from HUDS. And if you're the type of person that values looks, Dunster House with its iconic red dome is one of the most beautiful buildings at Harvard.

When you imagined your life as an upperclassman at Harvard, you did not imagine Currier House. It's not even partly neo-Georgian, and unlike Mather it's got no river views. Currier is no freshman's top choice. But those who live there learn to love it, and for good reason (not to mention out of necessity). As Stephen Stills would advise, if you can't be with the one you love, honey, love the one you're with.", [])
