If Brown Were Westeros
The Game of Thrones premiere this Sunday had everyone wishing they could live in Westeros. Luckily enough, you (basically) do!Christina Paxson's House = The Iron ThroneHome of our undisputed leader.
Wriston Quad = King's LandingAt the center of campus, the Greek houses and other living communities ooze power. Many people are vaguely afraid of Wriston; yet, it remains one of the most sought after places to live at Brown.Keeney Quad = Slums of King's LandingRight on the periphery of Wriston, but not as nice. Droves of freshmen flock to Keeney looking for good times (maybe involving flagons of wine or late-night philandering) but leave sorely disappointed. Stay too long in Keeney and you may emerge with a plague or two yourself.
The SciLi = The EyrieThe SciLi may not be as beautiful as The Eyrie, but both are intimidatingly tall. And remaining in the SciLi too long may leave you feeling a little overworked (á la Lysa Arryn).
New Pembroke= HarrenhalCould New Pembroke's riot-proof walls withstand an army of dragons? Probably. But that still doesn't mean anyone wants to live there.
Andrews Hall = HighgardenHome of House Tyrell, Highgarden has some striking similarities to Hotel Andrews. This part of Westeros is beautiful and chock full of amenities (sinks). Much like Sansa Stark, many Keeney freshmen have dreamed of dating someone in Andrews for the chance to relocate.The Nelson = The Fighting PitsThe famed Fighting Pits Daenerys encounters are teeming with competition, screaming matches, and burly men. Add some Lululemon to the mix, and you've basically got the Nelson.The Rock = Casterly RockIt's all in the name.The CIT = Castle BlackLike the members of the Night's Watch, CS concentrators literally live here. Although it's not actually forbidden, this is still probably the only place on campus where no one has sex.
BONUSRISD = Essos, the far land of the EastDoes anyone know what goes on here? No. But it always seems cool. Images via, via, via, via, via, via, via and Neilly Tan'18.
