...some reason, I felt more isolated in my House than I’d felt in my freshman dorm. The housing folks had done a great job crafting a diverse group of first-year students for each room and proctor group–in my very typical entryway, we had a number of international students, musicians, science buffs, a few athletes, prep-school kids, and obviously, an equal number of women and men.
