Aside of posing for H-Bomb with my sister, living in a room where two roommates got cleaning persons every week and two people didn’t would be the most awkward situation ever. Harvard is already rich with ways of showcasing wealth on campus—Final Clubs, HSA laundry service, Adams House—and we don’t need one more.
