Doxory Choices (laurel) The latest public Doxory choices laurel: i entered MIT as class of 2006, took a year off between junior and senior year and am now deciding what brass rat i want; i got brass (white gold) and steel (siladium) rats for 2006, but i lost my gold one. getting a replacement 2006 brass rat and getting a 2007 steel rat costs about the same amount.... laurel 2007-02-19T05:07:07Z get the 2006 brass rat; having a gold ring is nice for formal occasions and most people identify with their entering class year. also you can see the detail better in the gold. vs. get the 2007 steel rat; i don't identify that strongly with my class year and not having to explain why i have a 2006 rat but graduated in 2007 all the time might be nice. also, it has the wright flyer hack which i really wanted to be on my 2006 rat but they didn't have time to include it in the design.
