Anyone have a room selection slot for the dorms who isn't planning on living there and wants to reserve a room for me?

Gotta try everything...

I just booked one of the last rooms in North Hall.
I was wondering, does anyone know whether they clean your bathroom..?
I would doubt it, but since it's a dormitory I thought we might have janitors

Not in North because it's in your room. They do in the Grope.

Got a room in Dane this morning! Maybe a future poll could be where we're all living, with options as each residence and various areas in cambridge/boston

[cdotson2]

Got a room in Ames, second the poll idea of where we are all rooming.

[mollywood]

Third floor Shaw! I'm also in favor of a residence poll.

Ames Room 205! Is there an existing forum where we can meet up with our new floormates?

Still hoping to get something in Garden St. though.

Anybody looking to live off campus here? If so: whereabouts?

[together41]

Which of the neighborhoods in Cambridge and those in Boston in general are good for off campus housing?

Already signed a lease for an apartment just off the north end of MIT. It's about 1.8 miles south of HLS. Had to compromise on location to make it work with my fiancée's schooling.

Neighbours, awesome!

Anybody familiar with the HUH off campus housing? Got a selection day coming up and having trouble deciding between just sample photos. Anybody seen Hastings or 5 Cowperthwaite?

[buffy123]

Anybody familiar with Haskins Hall or 5 Cowperthwaite?

Hastings or Haskins?

As for 5 Cowperthwaite: I didn't know Harvard owned housing for HLS students that was so ridiculously far away from the law school. Why would you want to live there?

14 mins isn't bad until it's snowing/storming outside and you've got an 8am contracts class. I had to Google maps it to see where it was and was also surprised any HLS ppl lived there. That's pretty out of the way tbh

Eta I'm not sure 14 mins is an accurate estimate. It takes me longer than that to get to zoes and zoes is closer to HLS. I'm a quick walker, too. Gmaps says 17 mins

Just here to echo that a 17 min walk seems fine until the 5-7 month winter sets in. That said, I lived way off campus this past year, and made it work (40 min bus ride plus 10 min walk). It did limit my activity on campus for social crap in the evenings though.

Tldr: living a little bit off campus is doable, just be aware of what you are signing up for.

Thanks for the advice. Ended up opting for Haskins, which is .5 miles away but probably still a bitter 10 minutes in the winter. Hesitating to sign the lease though...I asked if I could see the building and was told I could only tour the exterior, not really sure what that would entail.

Has anyone started filling out health forms and been able to access the patient portal? I can't seem to get in
