... at St. Ed's. Yes, the biggest night at St. Ed's is Room Picks Night. Every returning Stedsmen has the opportunity to pick his room as well as roommate(s) for the upcoming year. How does this happen? Arm wrestling? A game of darts or pool? Feats of strengths? No. Lottery pick numbers. Thanks to an algorithm at the Office of Housing, randomly generated lottery list are produced, giving each resident a number... and picks are based off that number. Rising seniors go first, followed by rising juniors, and then, last but not least, rising sophomores were at the end. Again, regardless of one's lottery number, everyone's a winner... because every room at Steds is better than any and all rooms elsewhere on campus! But... there had to be a gentleman who would get to go first in this excitement filled evening and this honor fell to Kabir Madan.
On being first to select a room, this rising senior, resident Singaporean, and new D.A.D. (Director of Academic Discernment) for next year, shared, “Room pick night is a time for Stedsmen to really lock in and strategize. Getting to go first took some of the pressure off because it meant that there was nothing standing between me and a highly coveted single, and I was able to put my plan into action flawlessly.”
What room did Madan choose? A room that the rector would love to make his room away from his room, room 301, a single with windows on the east and south sides of the room. What more could you ask for?!
