    - overall very nice, lots of brick buildings
    - Mostly in one place in Boston, feels like a cohesive campus
    - Pretty big
    - Lots of food and store options around campus
    - Very cold; lots of snow
    - Plenty of dorm rooms, 98% of students live on campus all 4 years
    - Right next to Boston downtown, but doesn’t feel right in the city
    - can eat in dining halls, but there are good restaurants nearby
- House System
    - Every student is sorted into one of 12 houses March of freshmen year
    - Each house lives in their own building, and different houses have different things in buildings (ceramics studio and rock climbing wall)
    - can choose up to 8 people to block with and and group is all put into one house together
    - Sorting is mostly just random
    - All freshmen stay in same place and eat in same hall until they are sorted
    - Can still use amenities from other houses
