Wait. What does this family have to do with Hoover House? Oh, yeah: They're the Hoovers! The loveable dysfunctional family from Little Miss Sunshine. Have you seen that movie? Oh man! You should! There's an awesome old yellow VW van in it. And commentary on the hollowness of contemporary self-help motivational literature. And observations on the cringe-inducing weirdness of kiddie beauty pagents. And stuff about Nietzsche and Proust. And meditations on the importance of family. That's why I bring it up. Hoover House will be home to 100 students next year. The feeling you'll have for your fellow Hooverites will be a little bit like the feeling one has for family. Lots and lots of affection. And you'll have that sense that you belong here, without having to prove yourself, or adopt phony personas, or wear Abercrombie & Fitch (but it's okay if you do) . That's what Hooverlove is about. We take you as you are. A past resident (and current associate) once said: "They say there is a House for everyone. What I love about Hoover is that it's a House for anyone."
