...rooms in an atmosphere that's more like your grandma's musty attic than Widener. It's a cozy and popular spot to finish those p-sets. Though it no longer serves food, the Grille is a comfortable venue for stein clubs and TV-watching on the big screen. In warm weather, even the courtyard becomes a common space, with Kirkland's famous hammocks...
Mather has a standard Junior Common Room (comfy couches, regulation size ping pong table, flat screen TV, convenient kitchen), a “Big TV Room” with a pool table and enough seating for a respectable Super Bowl party, and a “Small TV Room” with a popular foosball table. But what really sets Mather apart is the 24-hour library with a sweeping (concrete) spiral staircase and two-story windows. Pulling an all-nighter? Come to the d-hall, where brain break is available until breakfast, 20 of your closest friends...

Suites consist of four, five, or six bedrooms located above or below a common room large enough to fit three futons, a bunk-bed-turned-double-decker couch, and a big screen TV (it’s been done).

Other notable House figures include “Super” Mario, the beloved building manager and the Harry-Potter-esque House Elves...
Quirks: Make the other Quad Houses jealous at the Pfoho Grill, an essential stop for that late-night mozzarella stick. Be sure to attend a Pforum, a roughly monthly occasion in which big names from a variety of fields (Daniel Gilbert was one of this year's guests) come to speak to Pfoho after a tastier-than-dining-hall meal. There's a sound studio in the basement for the musically talented, and noise-proof music rooms for the not-so-musically-talented. Plus, there's Pfojo, Pfoho's brand new yoga/dance/martial arts studio. Finally, be sure to check...
