Adams House

Adams House, first and foremost because of its convenient location, consistently ranks among the favorite Houses at Harvard. Katy Perry herself has said that "nothing comes close to the Golden Coast," and this year, we agree. Although no House is perfect in every way, Adams is as good as it gets. Once you're an upperclassman, you'll care more than anything about location, location, location.

Freshmen Carry On Housing Ritual

During last night’s “River Run," freshmen seemed to witness a hide-and-seek game.

Housing Videos Continue To Get Musical

Pforzheimer, Kirkland, and Winthrop have released new Housing Day videos, each in the style of popular musical videos.

Lowell House

At the center of attention on Mt. Auburn Street, Lowell House boasts two courtyards and a historical bell tower with an attitude. Easily accessible from all the River Houses and the hustle and bustle of Harvard Square, Lowell is a convenient home base where everything is just a few steps away.

More Videos as Housing Day Approaches

Housing Day is quickly approaching, which means that Houses have been quickly releasing videos in the final days to make a positive impression on freshmen.

Kirkland House

Yet for a House that has been the site of some bad news, it is Kirkland's strong points that will make headlines on Housing Day: beautiful facilities, a prime location, and a warm, cozy community.
