Best Housing Day Signs

By Jennifer Y Yao

As the weather begins to heat up, so does blocking drama. With Housing Day right around the corner, we’ve gathered some of the best Housing Day signs from the archives to get you excited about the house you’ll get sorted into (and maybe transfer out of…).

‘Nobody Steals Airpods In Dunster’

We all remember the shocking story of a student being robbed of his Airpods in broad daylight in the Yard. In Dunster, you’ll know your headphones will be safe, day or night, on your walk back to the river. A bonus sign in this photo is Cabot’s poster, “Cabot is a Good House.” Will your Airpods be safe there? We’ll never know, but at least you’ll be in a good house.

‘It’s Going Down, I’m Yelling Timber’ and ‘Treez Nuts’

This sign plays on Currier’s mascot, Woody the Tree, with a classy ode to Pitbull and Kesha. The other sign in the background, “Treez Nuts,” is a timeless take on your favorite comeback. It’s okay if you can’t get “Timber” out of your head now — neither can we.

‘We Can Fulfill Your Fête-ish’

Our new Fête-ish? This amazing sign. There’s nothing better than another excuse to dress up during formal season.

‘Pforzheimer? I Bearly Know Her’

A nice break from Pfoho’s endless artillery of “Pf” puns, this sign blends humor with Pfoho’s adorable polar bear suits (there are ten of them!). The other sign in this photo, “I Cried When I Got Quadded… Tears of Joy,” is truly calling freshman out on their biggest fears, and we love it.

‘Mather: Cockroaches Don’t Live In Concrete’

A cockroach isn’t the ideal blockmate, so it’s a good thing Mather’s found a way to prevent our worst nightmare. Plus, cockroaches shouldn’t be able to make it to the 18th floor of the tower in the first place.

‘Th/Drink Like A Fish’ and ‘Cabot House: Finding Home’

The next time you’re drowning in sweat in Cabot Aquarium, you can rest assured that your new fish identity will save you. We also love the other sign, “Finding Home,” a cute play on Cabot’s fish mascot and the Pixar classic “Finding Nemo.”

Never judge a book by its cover — or a house by its sign. No matter the house (or the quality of its signs), you’re bound to find home. Happy sorting!
