6. There are a lot of musicians, science majors, and math majors. Dunster, however, throws awesome parties. If you like diversity, Dunster has it. As for stereotypes, we have Pioneer, Nakamichi, Yamaha...all sorts.

7. Sally and Cresap Moore are extremely open, friendly, helpful, and accessible. They eat meals in the dining hall often. Once in a while, they join us at our parties. They have open houses with awesome food, study breaks, and ice cream bashes. They encourage student participation in tutor selection and other decisions concerning the house.

1. The tutors are very caring, interested, and involved with students. In terms of facilities. Eliot has a 15,000-volume library, dark room, dance studio, typing room, music rooms, erg machines, and a universal. Among Eliot's other bonuses include: its close proximity to classrooms and athletic facilities; involvement with Cambridge through public service; the Spring Fete; and eating outside on the courtyard patio in warm weather.

2. Its reputation!

3. Special events at Eliot House include the Evening of Champions skating show to benefit the Dana Farber Institute's Jimmy Fund; the Winter Ball; an annual Casino Night where Master Heimert deals; an upcoming Cabaret Night; and an excellent house crew team.

4. Students select their top five choices and the master's assistant assigns rooms to maximize people getting their first choices within the constraints of space problems.

5. There is a sophomore dinner at the beginning of the fall. We also will give tours of the house in September to familiarize sophomores with our facilities. Incoming sophomores are invited to all Eliot House spring events, master's monthly open houses, the Fete, etc.

6. The only stereotype I am aware of is that Eliot House is full of snobby rich prep school students. This is not true, Eliot House follows the College's ratio of public to prep school graduates. While it is true that there are some snobby and some very rich students here, there are no more than in any other house. Eliot House has a more diverse student population than perceived--we have the largest Puerto Rican student population on campus.

7. Master Heimert does a lot for the house that many people don't know about--he is a master craftsman in woodworking and metal work and does a lot to keep Eliot House in great condition. He eats regularly in the dining hall and joins students.
