...those experiences at Harvard, learned all those things, and had that confidence boost.” Slattery recalls feeling less pressure to conform at Harvard than at Tulane, and Payne says he particularly enjoyed the academic environment present even in Harvard’s residential dorms??from the fact that it was not unusual for students to not have a television in their room to their habit of discussing current events or classes in the dining hall...
...everyone approves of the change. David J. Meskill ’88, Mass. Hall’s longtime proctor, claims that its residents “are at least as happy, if not more happy, as in the other dorms?? and Harry R. Lewis ’68, the oft-critical former dean of the College, put it this way last year: “I suppose different people may see different symbols in that—students losing their places to administrative bureaucrats, the College being swallowed up by the University, or maybe the FAS selling...
Eavesdrop on a tour of Harvard Yard and you might overhear an oddly perky undergrad telling a swarm of tourists that all of the buildings surrounding the Old Yard are freshman dorms??with two-and-a-half exceptions.

Although freshmen trapped in Canaday’s cinderblock cells may envy their Apley Court peers, even the best-situated Harvard students would kill to live in certain Boston University dorms??namely the Hyatt Regency and the Holiday Inn. For more than a decade, BU has been solving its housing shortage problem by stashing a few hundred freshmen in local hotels. This year, there are 484 students residing in the Hyatt and 120 shacking up in the Holiday Inn, according to the Daily Free Press, Boston University’s student newspaper. In the second semester, however...
