Matherites are blessed with a bright and airy dining hall with cushioned seats, plenty of room (none of that awkward I-can’t-fit-between-chairs crap you see in Adams), a variety of table sizes (admit it, you prefer two seats between you and the nearest acquaintance/awkward former hook-up), and full-length windows that gaze directly onto the river. There’s even a book-exchange shelf! Dining Hall Manager Michelle will know your thesis topic, favorite food, and go-to bad-day outfit. Mather has no dining restrictions. (Feel the democracy. Feel...
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...

Come to the d-hall, where brain break is available until breakfast, 20 of your closest friends...

Suites consist of four, five, or six bedrooms located above or below a common room large enough to fit three futons, a bunk-bed-turned-double-decker couch, and a big screen TV (it’s been done). Tower rooms are in clusters of five, and while they don’t have common rooms, they do boast striking views of the Charles...
...Rooms: Un-pfreaking-believable. Almost everyone (except for a small population of unlucky sophomores) is guaranteed a single for all three years. It's possible for sophomores at the bottom of the housing lottery to get something as excessive as a 230 sq. ft. single. Sophomores live in mostly smaller suites of connected (but not walk-through) singles while juniors and seniors can take their pick of a top floor duplex suite in one of the three “bricks” (Holmes, Comstock, or Moors) or a highly prized wood-floored gargantuan suite in Wolbach.
