Every reading period, the greatest challenge facing Harvard students is finding an ideal place to study. Dorm rooms hold a million distractions: the phone, the Internet, the roommate who has given up on schoolwork altogether and who wants a sympathetic ear for her adventures from last weekend.

Dorms regularly schedule dinners with faculty members; dorm patriotism (complete with dorm battle cries and chants) is a way of life...
