Check out this multimedia project, a conglomeration of photographs, voices, and sounds from Housing Day on Thursday. There's a pretty good chance that you'll spot a glimpse of yourself in at least one of these photos, so take a look!

Hundreds of upperclassmen gathered in Harvard Yard to partake in the annual Housing Day ritual of welcoming freshmen to their new upperclassmen Houses.

As of Wednesday evening Flyby officially released the rankings of all 12 Houses. Now that freshmen have been informed of their respective Houses, it's important to remember that rankings don't tell the whole story. This gallery shows that there is a lot to love about every House. Each image contains a word cloud of a respective House's answers to the question "What is the best thing about your House?" With the word "community" appearing prominently on every image, it seems clear that House life is what you make of it. Get excited, class of 2015!

Although House life has come to be seen as a defining part of the Harvard experience, the actual traditions of Housing Day, when all freshmen are placed in their future homes, are less than a decade old.

While much of the student body revels in Housing Day celebrations on Thursday, some students will sit out the festivities, stuck in classrooms racking their brains during a midterm.

As part of our Housing Market series, we'll be posting reviews and rankings for each of Harvard's 12 residential Houses over the next few days. Click here to read more about the series. Laying claim to the number one spot in this year's rankings, Kirkland has plenty of perks: a plethora of House traditions including the ever-infamous Incestfest, adorable House Masters with even more adorable dogs, a world record in its courtyard, and a location close to class, Noch's, and the MAC. Kirkland is one of Harvard's smallest Houses, so freshmen, beware—it won't be easy to get in, but if you do, you'll never want to leave.
