What is House 2(%)to us?
"There once was a House named New House 2, a home away from home for me and you. The kids are cool, the study breaks rule, its the coolest house in the whole school! "
Kristin R. Class of 2010
"New House is a great place to get work done, enjoy the company of friends, and, when the time is right, party like nowhere else on campus. In short, House 2 is Baller House."
Jamon M. Class of 2010
"The most bumpin."
Xavier J. Class of 2011
"...a community...no matter how late we come back to New House 2 from psetting, we have a place where we can wind down and get away from all the pressures of MIT...and someone from our community who can help us get by."
Amanda V. Class of 2012
"NH2 is my family, away from family...its friends, fun, & free food...oh & dont forget psets."
Victoria O. Class of 2013
"A lot. Depends on what day and time it is; a social lobby, a library, a kitchen, a living room, a place to reconvene and have everyone together."
Franco M. Class of 2013
"House 2 is definitely my home on campus. The closest friends I have at MIT, I met in House 2. I like that there are people I can talk to when I need someone to listen. I also like that we can be foolish and have a good time."
Rachael H. Class of 2011
"I LOVE me some House 2!
The people here keep it real, they're supportive, and they make me laugh.
There have been so many nights where my eyes were watering and my stomach was hurting because of the craziness of these people.
Yes I said it!
These people are crazy!
But I love them for it...they make my crazy...almost normal :p
P.S. We have some diverse chefs! Julia introduced me to some matzo ball soup, Joy cooked up some African food, mmmmmmmmm...."
Chelsi G. Class of 2013
"We have our ups and downs but at the end of the day house 2 is my family: we laugh together, cry together, eat together, pset together, and enjoy the other burdens of being an MIT students together. This house is the best support system anyone can find on a campus like MIT. I've had the opportunity to leave several times but I've realized that I would only go if the people come with me. I wouldn't trade my house 2 family for anything... <3 y'all."
Eloho A. Class of 2014
"House 2...is a house of crazies. Really. But it's that craziness that brings back out the best in us. The best friends I have at this school...came from House 2. It's like, a home away from home really. No matter how stressful the week's been, I know I can always head back and I'll be destressed. I feel comfortable leaving my door open...and going by to visit other people because they do the same. AHHH!! I can't express it enough...but I LOVE HOUSE 2!!!! :))
Oh yeah! House 2 is also a GREAT place for practicing cooking/baking in....and of course eating too ;)."
