By class year, Currier is probably one of the most diverse houses house on campus, both because of its range of quality of room and the range of reasons that drive people to live there. On the one hand, some of Currier's rooms are first rate, desirable for purely their own sake. On the other, Currier has a recent history of being [[Odd Quad]] in nature, and Odd Quadders have been willing to live in any kind of squalor to be near each other, quite willing to take the less desirable center rooms in Currier for the quad's unique social scene.
Though Currier has earned a reputation as the younger Odd Quad dorm (sophomores and juniors to Currier, seniors to [[Fitch]] and [[Prospect]] [[[crow's nest|crow's nests]]), it always holds a large number of people from other social groups. The layout of Currier, with its many fire doors and stairwells that strongly divide the space, allow for a a compartmentalization of groups if those groups will it, while spaces such as the ballroom and first floor common room allow larger bodies to meet. Currier's residents have made their dorm the primary home for these activities in the past and present: * '''[[BridgeClub]], ''' which enjoyed a renaissance of players in early 2004. * '''[[Chocoholics]],''' chocolate eating society that has bounced between Currier and Fitch since its founding by Rachelle Hassan '03.* '''[[Storytime]].''' Never a club, but a regular meeting of students who would gather to hear Chris Holmes '03 read a tale from the balcony of his room C 21, which he had traded with Nina Trautman '03 to get specifically for the purpose of storytime. Chris would later join with Jesse Dill '04 to found the [[Deviants]], and the storytimers were the first core members of the group.* '''[[WARP]].''' It was once faily commonplace for Currier to spew [[bop-sworders]] out onto the quad to make battle, and the ballroom was an ideal site for WARP's LARPs (live action role play).
