From Barbecue to Kegerator: Harvard's Party Suites

And the party tradition has ceded additional amenities to this social life hot spot. Some residents a few years back bought a bar, which now comes with the room, warning students to either hold parties or move out.

The current residents decided they needed a pool table for an area that "looked bare" and, of course, the requisite kegerator.

Coll says he cannot imagine a way to improve the room's party aptitude.

"We pretty much have a good set-up. We're right at the entrance to Currier," Coll says. "There's a big room, a bar and a kegerator."

Kirkland Swamp

There are two main theories behind why the infamous seven-man suite on the second floor of the I-entryway is called the "Swamp," according to resident Justin D. Lerer '99.

The first is that it is a jibe at the "stupid" layout. The Swamp is composed of three suites, each with two bedrooms off a common room, and a bathroom. The three common rooms adjoin through fire doors.

The second tale, which Lerer says he would like to believe, is that it has been a party spot for years.
