...Common Spaces: Pfoho is home to arguably some of the most utilized common spaces of any House on campus, probably because the old Harvard pretension is sacrificed for practical utility and student needs. The Holmes Junior Common Room is not glamourous, yet its central location, pool and ping pong table, proximity to the Grill, and constantly-tuned-into-football TV make it a sure bet for finding another pfolar bear to chill with any night. The Wolbach JCR is also heavily used—its kitchen and DVD player make it a common study break location and couch potato...
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.

Jordan overflow housing—the Quad of the Quad—is actually highly desirable, as accommodations resemble DeWolfe without doubles—complete with cable TV, massive common rooms, and a kitchen. Sociable hallways in most of the House create a better sense of camaraderie with fellow floormates than the sometimes isolating and stair-intensive entryways of other Houses (by the way, we have elevators). Pfoho is also home to the infamous Belltower Suite, which consists of three interconnected quads, making...
