| I have to say that I do not share the experience of having uncomfortably small housing at Harvard-- I've been very happy with my housing so far. I lived in Stoughton freshman year, and it was incredible. I shared a one-room double, but it was 300 square feet (I think it was 20' by 15')! We had enough room for a futon, a dish chair, a coffee table, a large tv, and beds that were on separate sides of a giant room. Furthermore, we had four cute window seats and a fireplace, and there was a lot of historic charm. All of my friends from high school who came to visit me were impressed and said they didn't know any school offered freshmen housing like what we had. I don't think my situation was all that unusual here. |
