<p>Never let it be said that Harvard doesn't care about or invest in their undergraduates:</p>
<p>The</a> Harvard Crimson :: News :: College Plans $1 Billion House Renovations</p>
<p>I really don't like the idea of completely gutting the interiors. I hope they don't do that with my entry way at Dunster - it had a great plan. Two single bedrooms off a large living room with a fireplace in every living room. Nice woodwork to boot.</p>
<p>mathmom - You got lucky! Most suites in Dunster these days have horrible configurations.</p>
<p>(i.e. the "triple walkthrough" Doorway-->Living room-->Bedroom-->Bedroom-->Bathroom for three people)</p>
<p>Admittedly the year before I didn't have such a great arrangement. Bathroom -->Bedroom-->Bedroom-->Living Room -->Bedroom-->Bedroom -->Bathroom (for four) There were two doors onto the public (deadend) hall and one roommate volunteered to be the walkthrough for the bathroom. That arrangement could probably have been improved by incorporating the hall officially into the suite.</p>
<p>Sophomore year I also had a great suite, (two bedrooms and bath off a living room) but that's because the roommate who volunteered to have the living room moved in with her boyfriend, effectivey putting two of us in there instead of three. :)</p>
<p>Yes, but what is $1 billion to a university that has $35 billion lying around? ;) Must normalize for disparities in size!</p>
