Describe the students at California Institute of Technology.

At Caltech, all the things that would normally divide people into cliques do not matter nearly as much as your Hovse. The Hovse lines are the main divisor of students because the people in your Hovses are the ones with whom you live, eat, study, and hang out. Students generally develop very close relationships within their respective Hovses. This is why Rotation is very important, for it determines which Hovse you will be associated with. However, it is not as if these things are set in stone. One could always gain or drop a Hovse membership. Be careful during Rotation because all the Hovses will be acting slightly differently (unintentionally or otherwise) than they normally would because of all the prefrosh around. Rotation rules are in effect for everyone who could potentially be a Caltech student, and this basically means that people shouldn't unfairly bias the prefrosh for or against any particular Hovse. That's why I'm not mentioning any specific Hovse right now.
