<p>Harvard calls them "proctors" because the school likes to use old British names.</p>

<p>Anyway, the rules are that there's no alcohol in freshman dorms. No proctor will search your room, and most will turn a blind eye to relatively responsible drinking. That said, don't expect to be throwing raging parties in your freshman dorm (but there's usually a lot going on every weekend in upperclass houses/rooms/etc).</p>

<p>i haven't even sent in my application yet.. and you got in already..lol..
i dont really understand this... since there's no early decision for harvard anymore..
or there must be something i dont know about..</p>

<p>oh.. an athlete.. i got it :)</p>

<p>yeah that's kinda what i got from my visit. i never saw the inside of any of the dorms in the yard, but they didn't sound too strict. most of the freshmen party in the upperclassmen houses anyway. i stayed in the quad (cabot), and there were some cool, small parties.
what's the best dorm to be in as a freshmen (try to include something about dorms other than yours)?</p>

<p>this is a chance thread i posted a couple months ago. i found it interesting to go back and read what people said. </p>

<p>"Harvard doesn't have a single male sprinter. They had a football player and their high jumper run the 60m and 100m last year and you have doubts that a black male with a 2200 and a 11.2 will have the complete support of their coach."-posted 09-22-07</p>

<p>Told you!</p>

<p>I lived in Wigglesworth, which was great. Some of my favorites are Matthews, Weld, & Grays.</p>

<p>is wigglesworth the one with the side building that they call piglet? i think my host stayed in there his freshman year.</p>

<p>Haha, I know it as the "wiglet" but yup, that's it</p>

<p>that's what i meant haha.</p>

<p>Wow, congrats! It's great to see someone's hard work pay off like that. I hope we're all as lucky as you. =]</p>

<p>congrats token89! I'm a Harvard '12er too (originally '11er but I deferred for a year) Looking forward to meeting you! Also, I know that the Union Dorms tend to be the nicest ones on campus, particularly Hurlbut suites and singles, though you pay for it by being sequestered away from the yard.</p>

<p>Congrats, guys
I got a likely letter too, next year should be fun
if you've got a facebook let me know in a pm or something</p>

<p><em>jealousy</em> lol. :(</p>

<p>Dude you're black. Awesome.</p>

<p>thanks?????</p>

<p>OMG! I'm so happy for you!! :D I want to get into Harvard one day too.. (if you can't tell lol) but I'm still young obviously.. I'm a High School sophomore who's recovering from a bad freshman year -_- ... anyway I hope you do great! ^^</p>

<p>you've got plenty of time to recover. my freshmen year i had 3 B's and 3 A's. thanks though. good lucky.</p>
