S18 got his dorm assignment today! His last choice (the only all-male hall) but it has plenty of redeeming features. A classic old building (that looks a little bit like Harry Potter - so we're going to call it Gryffindor). A lot of tradition that the newer dorms don't have (has it's own drinking song, long history of pranks) - things that are rare in California public schools, as they are mostly pretty new. It shares a dining hall with the dorm his pretty engineering friend is in. And since it only houses around 200 students, they will probably get to know each other well. Also has a unique quad-room setup (central double with tiny singles off each side) that will suit him well, I think. He's excited
