about us
home to approximately thirty-six chill mit students, zero not-so-chill mit students, one awesome gra, four furry friends/mouse-hunters, and a disco-dancefloor, first east is a group of enthusiastic, social, oft loud, sometimes harmonious, but always easy going people. first east is a good mix of all the types of people in ec. unlike most, on our hall we like to have a gradient of noise level; in goodale most residents are asleep by a reasonable hour, in bemis you're usually going to find someone up tooling or watching youtube, and in walcott you can be as loud as you like.
we first easters like to think of ourselves as a social bunch. we have a major tendency to make disco dance floors and then break them. after the downfall of our last dancefloor, originally envisioned in 2005 (!), we have once again used our freshman labor force to rebuild a new dance floor with many new features! first east hosts the bad ideas ball at the end of iap when prizes are awarded for the best/worst entries in the competition. we try to host two parties for the dorm a term to make sure the floor gets lots of use.
