As Housing Day approaches, FlyBy will serve as your personal rating agency with a complete rundown by a resident of each House. Not that you have any say (River Gods notwithstanding), but at least you’ll know whether your portfolio is getting a downgrade.

Quincy House is the oft forgotten and underrated sibling in its neighborhood, as it tends to get overshadowed by its more ostentatious and overrated neighbors. How does this gem rate among FlyBy’s version of the 4 C's? Find out after the jump.

Location: So Flyby might have a slight bias toward Plympton Street, but the location is clearly ideal. It's a central hub between party venues on the river and the drudgery of the Yard.  Finals club groupies can rejoice—no matter which club you got crazy at last night, your walk of shame shan’t be too protracted. Quincy House also offers quick access to Tommy’s, which proves invaluable when you run out of mixers at 12:30 am.

Rooming: Confused. Quincy’s dormitories are built in contradicting styles: brick traditionalism on one side and concrete modernism on the other. Dewolfe offers an enticing option with its many amenities and proximity to Quincy, so residents can still actively participate in their House community, unlike the Kirklanders there. Otherwise, sophomores should be prepared to share cramped bedroom quarters, in exchange for a sizable common room. While the unattractive monolith that is New Quincy is often cited as the House’s greatest drawback, inside, juniors can get spacious singles with modest common rooms, and seniors can get massive common rooms complete with picture windows. In the days of party grants, Quincy was notorious for offering a host of possible party locales to the masses every weekend. The balcony suite, which combines two gigantic senior common rooms, is arguably one of the best spots to throw down on the river. Those who value aesthetics over room quality should still hope for Lowell or Adams, but the more pragmatic types should know Quincy rooming is superior.
