How are the dorms?

<p>How are the dorms in Harvard?</p>

<p>Can someone describe how is theirs or if they visited.</p>

<p>Most are suite (bathroom attached)?</p>

<p>What is the maximum number of people you can get in a dorm with?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I have this site bookmarked from a thread from a while ago
<a href="http://mit.edu/trishin/Public/froshdorms/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://mit.edu/trishin/Public/froshdorms/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>it has pics of the outside and the inside of a sample dorm for most of the freshman dormitories on campus.
I, however, don't know any of the other details you asked.</p>

<p>Some freshman dorms and almost all of the upperclass houses have bathrooms in the suites, but there are exceptions.</p>

<p>Freshman year, I believe the largest suites have six people, but someone correct me if I'm wrong. At any rate, you'll get to know everyone in your entryway, so you won't be limited to your suitemates at all.</p>

<p>Thanks for all the info and the site =)</p>

<p>I know that Matthews Hall had suites, but bathrooms were not attached. I had a lovely room there during Harvard SSP.</p>

<p>thanks if you know more sites like this please send</p>

<p>Wigglesworth Dorms are bathroom attached, with a common-room. 1st and 2nd floor are 4 people 2 beds. 3rd floor 4 people 2 singles and 1 double beds.</p>

<p>Are Harvard dorms usually air-conditioned in the early fall and late spring? At my former college, the air-conditioning was practically non-existent (meaning it was probably on to a certain degree but still VERY hot).</p>

<p>I don't believe they have air-conditioning.</p>

<p>they didn't for the summer...</p>

<p>AFAIK, none of them are air-conditioned. But Harvard starts late in the year; you should be fine with a window fan.</p>

<p>What about heating? Wait so how many people to a dorm room?</p>

<p>For Boston winters the dorms are certainly heated, although the school gets to decide when the heating system gets turned on and off for the year. You can't force them to turn on the heat if you happen to think that your room is too cold but they think it's not time yet. In any case, I don't think this is a big problem.</p>

<p>The number of people per dorm room is variable, usually 1, 2, or 3, depending on the size and amenities.</p>
