...Faculty Room is often cited as one of the most impressive spaces on campus, and it is easy to see why. Chandeliers hang from the ceiling, light shines in through the windows, and the busts and portraits of Harvard legends line the walls. Located on the second floor of University Hall, the room has been renovated to look identical to the way it was 100 years ago, when former University President Charles W. Eliot, Class of 1853, presided over Faculty meetings...

Upperclassmen have more to look forward to, as Cabot has a wide variety of spacious suites. But with an interior design scheme conceivably chosen by former resident Helen Keller...
