Photo Essay: A Mouse’s Tour of the High Rises

Welcome to Rodin College House, where ambition meets concrete. As you consider your housing options for next year, allow me to guide you through the 25 brutalist stories that I (and my enormous extended family) call home.

Enter through the lobby, where the floor is always dry. I get stuck in traps in the mezzanine like every two weeks, but the security guards are too scared to do anything with me so it's not a big issue.

Word on the street is we have the fastest elevators on campus.

At Rodin, imperfection is beauty. If you look to the right, you'll see the holes where my friends live!

Welcome to my humble abode, a four person triple. Let's have a look around.

I present to you a hallway with a lot of closets (empty). In all my years of living in this room, I've never seen anyone use them.

This is the bathroom, featuring a shower and toilet!

Here's the double bedroom. The windows are big and the view is nice (not pictured). 

Mirror selfie! :p

Having laundry rooms on every other floor is a real step up from the Freshman Laundry Experience. If you look closely I think that's someone's sock over there!

The floor lounges are a good place to study I think — I don't know I've never studied. But sometimes people leave food in here and I go to TOWN!

Finally we reach the rooftop lounge. It gets super cold at night and is really quiet all the time but the view is nice (not pictured). I often look out on the city and reflect on my wonderful little life.

I hope this tour inspires you to make Rodent—er—Rodin your future home. I can't wait to meet you!
