Best housing; Pforzheimer, Cabot or Leverett Towers?

Colleges & Universities Harvard University

<p>Hello all,</p>

<p>What housing at Harvard is the best to live in coming summer? I am assigned to Leverett Towers G081, but I think that Pforzheimer or Cabot are better choices. I have to take a dinner in the Annenberghall.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Well they are all about the same distance away, though people might tell you that Leverett is closer. I would say that Pfoho and Cabot are nicer houses, though I might be biased in that judgement…</p>

<p>White_Rabbit, thanks for your reaction! I listed the + and -'s</p>

<p>Cabot

  • Many students to chat with (parties?)
  • Great looking house
  • Great grassfield to play soccer eg
  • Far distance to Annenberg?</p>

<p>Pforzheimer

  • Many students to chat with (parties?)
  • Great looking house
  • Far distance to Annenberg?</p>

<p>Leverlett Towers old G

  • Great spacious rooms
  • Great view
  • Only 2 students at room
  • Not far away from Harvard SQ
  • Not many students to chat with, perhaps isolated?
  • Ugly tower (Is that the G or the F tower that’s ugly? Or both?)</p>

<p>Is this correct, you think? I hope to make this summer the best, also on the housing… :)</p>

<p>Offcourse I mean the “New Leverett G tower” instead of the new one.</p>

</p>

<p>Forgive my ignorance, but does this mean that you can rent Harvard dorms over the summer?</p>

<p>You can stay in selected dorms if you are it he Harvard SSP program or
have a PRISE (research) award or part of a [special</a> program](<a href=“http://summer.dce.harvard.edu/2009/campus/;jsessionid=ADAMIEBJBCPB]special”>http://summer.dce.harvard.edu/2009/campus/;jsessionid=ADAMIEBJBCPB) designated for this.</p>

<p>Most Harvard students still here at Cambridge live in [De Wolfe housing](<a href=“http://www.orl.fas.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=k11447&pageid=icb.page71913”>http://www.orl.fas.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=k11447&pageid=icb.page71913&lt;/a&gt;), one of the MIT frats or
in word-of-mouth advertised appartments during the summertime.</p>

<p>Yes, that’s correct Synth! </p>

<p>I think I will house in Leverett, good view from the 8th floor and good location from Annenberghall. </p>

<p>Only thing is that I think there is a little ‘isolated’ social contact in this tower…</p>

8

<p>don’t know about the summer school situation but during the school year, quad <<<< river houses. period. especially now since they’re cutting shuttle service hours.</p>

9

<p>So Leverett New (G) is the best choice? And do anyone know what rooms at the 8th foor of the G are having Charles River View?</p>

10

<p>Anyone? :)</p>

11

<p>there’s a lot of grad student housing close to the yard on prescott st that should be available for sublet for the summer… and its cheaper than dewolfe considering youd get your own room</p>
