If I tried, it wouldn’t really do them any justice. The problem with trying to define house personalities right now is that they haven’t really been defined yet - it’s completely up to the people who currently live in a given house to decide what their own living experience is. Thus, any description I or any of the other interns would give you would be outdated and likely out of touch (since we’re only really experts on the houses we actually live in).

Sorry I can’t answer your question. Just know that there is a huge variety in house personalities from one to the next and that we have houses that are very loud; very quiet; and very much in between the two extremes. There is definitely something for everyone and our housing process seeks to identify what housing environment might be best for every incoming student. You (and I) will have a better sense of the house personalities when everyone arrives on campus, I promise.
