Solution to New House
Each of the five answers corresponds to one of the five cultural houses in New House. From the 2016 dorm website we find that each of the cultural houses takes up some floors of one or more of the six physical Houses that make up New House. If we order the cultural houses by the order we would get to them from the entrance of the dorm (i.e., from smallest to largest House number, with ties broken by smallest to largest Floor number), and then index the floor numbers into the corresponding answers, we get the cluephrase COLORFUL ARC, which clues the final answer RAINBOW.
