About

Hoyt's KitchenNinja-themed rooms. Annual Pumpkin Carving fests. Random Dance Parties (quaintly known here as “RDPs”). Baking at 2am. Semesterly Freepile fashion shows. Game nights that are actually fun. Romance Novel Read-Alouds. Restaurant- quality cooking every night during the school year. And yes, Hoyt Hall can also boast that it has routinely the best Freepile in the co-op system. For those of you still struggling with the words ‘free’ and ‘pile’ let’s get to the important reasons why Hoyt is for you: We are a clean house. We have fun without the need of the Frat-party environment (tired of beer being spilled on your feet? So were we.) We are also a bunch of intelligent women: musicians (songwriters), chemistry nerds (anime experts), English majors (fanfic writers), drama geeks (sci-fi fans), designers (Project Runway addicts), writers (those on financial aid and still surviving) and physics majors (owners of a TI-89 and proud of it). Blond, brunette, bald, straight, queer, short, tall, conservative, liberal, moderately undefined politically, straight-A student, or someone-who-finds-the-grade-system- degrading, we’ve got it all!

Hoyt special dinnerBesides which, we have a killer amount of comfy couches, cable TV, a roof with a view to die for, and our very own House Store with all the amenities you might want in a pinch (snacks, that-time-of-the-month products--aka candy--blue books for finals and quarters for laundry). Also, we love it when brothers/ fathers/boyfriends visit and remind us why guys are so damn cool. Come to Hoyt. Come and see for yourself the beautiful white walls (perfect canvases for the muralist in all of us) and the clean floors and get to know the house for yourself. Because beyond our clean and quietly-studious demeanor you’ll get to see how much fun we can be.
