Another shot has road signs in the middle of Harvard Yard, the arms pointing west to University Hall and east to Barrett nee Emerson Hall. Ollie's roommate must sleep on a couch in another suite whenever Jenny spends the night, although on camera the lovers share only the single bed in Ollie's suite.
