Housing Day
Lowell
<p>Lowell is home to weekly tea parties, lovely Faculty Deans, and… towering cranes? Yep, by summer of 2017, Lowell will commence its renovation. With the project spanning a total of two years, freshmen can expect to spend their first year in Lowell and their subsequent two years in swing housing. How will this renovation project affect house life? While we don’t have any answers yet, future Lowellians can expect to at least spend a single really great year living within Lowell’s walls. </p>
The Housing Market
<p>Flyby Blog is proud to present The Housing Market 2016. Every house on campus has its own lively culture and unique quirks, and we're so happy to celebrate each and every one of them. We'll be releasing house profiles every day by neighborhood. May the odds be ever in your favor! </p>
Freshmen Manage Blocking 'Drama'
The infamous period of high stress characteristic of “blocking” came to a close Tuesday morning as the application deadline for freshmen seeking upperclassman Housing passed.
The Five Types of Blocking Drama Creators
With the rising Sophomore Housing Lottery registration opening next Monday, Feb. 29, blocking drama has come in like a wrecking ball. The stress in the environment is visible through the decrease in food supply at Annenberg because of freshmen eating their feelings and the lack of lack of Kleenex packs at the CVS in the Square.
Students Create Housing Day Hype With Videos
From dancing on tables to compiling Snapchat stories, residents of the 12 undergraduate houses are busy producing and marketing their Housing Day videos.
Flyby's Predictions for Housing Day Anthems
Some Houses have already released previews of their 2016 Housing Day videos, but we are not yet convinced that the Dark Side (or long and drawn-out scrolling lines of text fading into the vast expanse of outer space) looks good on Dunster, or that Eliot really needs to apologize for anything (or maybe it should – see below). For HoCos that have not started making their videos yet, here are some recommendations based on an appraisal of your House character.
