Odd Quad
,linkified, edited, added some info
The "Odd Quad" is the more commonly used name for the [[Berkshire Quad]], the easternmost group of buildings on campus. It is made up of two freshman dorms, [[East College]] and [[FayerweatherHall]], and three upperclassman dorms, [[CurrierHall]], [[FitchHouse]], and [[ProspectHouse]], as well as the [[Hopkins Observatory]]. East and Fay are on the west side of the quad; Currier and Fitch on the east; Prospect is on the south end and The observatory is on the north end, next to [[Route 2]]. How the Odd Quad got its name is a mystery shrouded by time - some say it was simply due to having five dormitories (/i.e./ an odd number); others suspect it has more to do with the nature of the inhabitants, as the Odd Quad tends to be home to the campus's largest collection of freaks, geeks, nerds, and people who generally consider themselves to be a little...well, odd. If you brought a cape to college "just in case," you're likely to fit in well there. (If you think capes are for losers...you're still reasonably likely to fit in well there. The cape-wearers are still a minority, but a slightly more visible one than elsewhere on campus.)
