clarify "technically a row house" and "most academic." added doubles info
West College is the Mother of all College Buildings. It is the first, and the finest. Technically a row house, due to its location along the "row" with former frat houses, West College is the perennial home to the most academic citizens of the college a great number of thesis seniors, especially science seniors, due to it's central location in the [[Science Quad]]. In the 2003 [[Housing Draw]], however, the powers that be turned some rooms in West into doubles, which, coupled with respect the 2002 rule that you cannot singly pick into a double until that last ~10 picks in the rising sophomore class, altered the composition of West significantly. The West doubles could not be picked by seniors (seniors ''rarely'' pick into doubles), were not picked by juniors, and ended up going to the lowest pick sophomores -- who were able to academic buildingspick in alone got them as singles. This fact became one of the [[grievances]] against housing draw that year, but the doubles remained. Relationships between residents of West College and [[Mission]] Park are considered long-distance relationships.
