The Prefect Welcome

I'm back on campus and back in the business of RAing, this time in a freshman-and-sophomore dorm. Typing at my laptop by an open window, I can hear the matriculation ceremony already underway. The class of 2017 has arrived, and those living on my floor in Miller Hall are in for a magical surprise.

Every RA is responsible for creating themed door tags for the hall, along with informative or interactive bulletin boards. And because Tufts is basically already Hogwarts, I couldn't help but give in to the pressure from friends (and my younger brother) to theme the hall. Let's have a look:

Door Tags

I'm not supposed to play favorites, but some of these tags may be the best:

My Door

Bulletin Boards

Sort Yourself: Tell us something about yourself, and then self-sort!

Famous Jumbo Cards: Alumni and chocolate frogs go well together.

Bathrooms

Wizards should go down the hall.

Now remember, kids: No hall-Quidditch indoors, no Butterbeer if you're under 21, and there are no towels in the bathroom, so you'll have to learn to handle a dry spell.
