Mather House
You may be turned off by concrete at first. Regal old Harvard—mantelpieces, window seats, chandeliers—that’s what turns you on. But after moving into Mather, you’ll be welcomed into a vibrant House community, get invited to one of the parties that occur here each weekend, and hook up with a hot Matherite in your (guaranteed) single. Concrete is seductive.

Mather B Entryway Was Full of Crap (Literally)
We love Mather's vibrant House community, but some might argue that the House (with its concrete aesthetic) looks kind of crappy on the outside. Well, now it appears to be crappy on the inside too.
