<p>Hi, everyone. I've just found out that I'm in Lionel for my upcoming freshman year! I wasn't expecting it at ALL, but from my searching on the internet, I couldn't find much information, other than the fact that it's small (it holds 70, i think?) and homey, and that it's a party place.</p>
<p>But where better to hear from than from people who've experienced it? Could anyone provide any insight into how the dorm looks inside, what's the experience like, if it's really a party place, and what kind of "tradition" things are there. Is it similar to Matthews inside? Or more closer to the newer Apley Court?</p>
<p>Hey there! I’ll be living in Mower (Lionel’s twin) this upcoming year, but I stayed in Lionel during prefrosh weekend and loved it. It was a cozy triple, and each girl had her own room within the suite, I believe. The bathroom was generously sized for a college setting, but I’m planning on bringing some kind of little cart to provide more storage space. I remember Lionel being a nice and peaceful break from hopping Harvard Yard. Really cute and quaint. I’d love to know more about these lovely little dorms, too.</p>
<p>Hey irishisis! I’m guessing Mower and Lionel are pretty much the same ;D. I stayed in Matthews, which is a lot of bricks. Is Lionel brick-walled, or does it have a carpet with the standard walls? And (sorry for the many questions!), about how big is the suite? I have three other roommates sharing three bedrooms, so I’m guessing one of the bedrooms have two beds or are bunk beds or something. ;D</p>
<p>lionel=not that big. not that cool. some people didn’t even know it was a dorm until christmas. is that the one right behind stoughton or hollis? i lived in stoughton and i don’t even know.</p>
<p>Thanks, token (for your honesty and for the info ;D ). I’m fine with the dorm itself not being big, but how about the rooms? I have three other roommates, and I was wondering if there would be plenty enough room, or at least about how big the rooms are ;D. I stayed in matthews for prefrosh, so I guess I’m sort of imagining Matthews in my head right now.</p>
<p>Hm, back here to revive this thread with one more question. I found this ‘tour a dorm’ thing on the Harvard website and I saw that Mower had a closet where I would need hangers. Becaues Mower is Lionel’s twin, I’m assuming that Lionel has a closet like Mower’s? I don’t want to buy unneccessary things and take up valuable space =D! Thanks!</p>
<p>Woah I searched about lionel on google and I find this. I’m in Lionel next year too. I kinda assumed every dorm would have a closet so I got hangers and stuff</p>
<p>And if anyone knows, does Lionel have three floors? My room is thirty something - so I hope I’m not living in the attic…</p>
<p>Silver: From what I remember, the walls were the typical white type, and the floors were hardwood.</p>
<p>Escrimeur: Lionel does have three floors. I stayed in a third floor suite, and it wasn’t the attic. It was nice and had a pretty landing with a window. Hope that helps!</p>
