Answers

Tally up your scores! The letter you chose the most of corresponds to your UMass Boston house!
a.  You’re the Healey library! You’re an intellectual with a strong sense of morality. You may be a bit of a bore, but there’s no denying that you’re one smart cookie.

b.  You’re McCormack! You’re the kind of person that you wouldn’t want to run into in a dark alley. You’re a determined individual and one tough cookie.

c.  You’re Wheatley. You’re the kind of person who would be described as “unique” by people who were trying not to be mean. These were very obviously the “bad” answers, so I’m not really sure what you expected. No cookie for you!

d.  You’re University Hall! You’re hip, trendy and have impeccable fashion sense. There is absolutely nothing that a person wouldn’t do to be your friend. You’re an organic oatmeal raisin cookie on sale at Whole Foods for $3.99.
If you somehow managed to end in a tie: congratulations! You broke the test! You must be feeling like a real bonafide brainiac right now. Do you want to know what your UMass Boston house is? You’re that dilapidated brick shack overlooking the ocean on the Harbor Walk. I hope you’re happy.
