After bumping into the same people you vaguely remember seeing at sophomore study breaks or in a 300-person core class, acquaintances are made and expanded upon.
"We have two blocking groups on our floor, and they just meshed," said Holly C. Holloway '02. "[But] I also feel like I really know over two thirds of the sophomores in Currier."
The warm, fuzzy sense of House community begins to build as your social circle widens, leading to this eventual transition: after the House lottery, almost everyone will have been disappointed to have been placed into Currier.
