John Winthrop House
But with a checkerboard floor and elegant wood-paneling, the House dining hall is hard to miss--and gets rave reviews for its round-the-clock schedule--open for drinks and study space throughout the night.
An especially active and enthusiastic sophomore class, many say, has re-energized the House Committee. House event highlights include 'Thropstock, Winthrop's miniature version of Springfest, and Debauchery night, when people have been known to run through the House dining room sans clothing. Look for House Master Paul D. Hanson in the dining hall during the day--he enjoys taking his meals among students. And don't miss the Waka Commons, a House grill without the grill (destroyed by fire last year), named after House resident Adam D. "Waka" Green '99.
