Currier
<p>It’s not a secret that Currier is often considered in the bottom of housing– it’s in the Quad, its dining hall is often compared to a “retirement home,” and it doesn’t have the classic Harvard look. However, Currier is a very unique house with a cohesive community, in fact, it has the smallest population of any house. Currier is also frequently ranked the highest among Harvard dining halls in terms of food quality. So when people clad in green swimsuits storm your dorm chanting “Fear the tree,” there may actually be a few reasons to get excited.</p>
