East College
The second-oldest building on campus, it was constructed in 1798, several years after West College. They were creative with the building names back when the college was founded, weren't they? East college burned in 1841 and was rebuilt in 1842. The entire interior was gutted and reconstructed during the summer of 1956 using unusual construction methods and utilizing prefabricated steel and concrete slabs and partitions.
East College is now one of the two first-year dorms in the Odd Quad, along with Fayerweather Hall. Both of theses dorms feature horizontal entries, unlike the vertical entries in the other freshman housing Morgan, Lehman, Sage, and Williams Hall. East is located directly across the quad from Currier, and is thus an excellent position for aspiring WARPies or Deviants. Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on the day of the week, it is also located directly across the eyeballs from Goodrich, which can get rather annoying for first-years trying to do work on weekends, but does make stopping for a cuppa on the way to class quite convenient.
It also features relatively large rooms and the largest rooms for frosh, large single-sex restrooms, and the only frosh entry easily represented by a local road sign (which college security officials often lecture against stealing at the beginning of the year).
The residents of East College are widely recognized as possessing greater degrees of sophistication, refinement, and dental hygiene than do their unfortunate neighbors in Fayerweather Hall.
