Daniels Tower, home to the majority of sophomores in Currier House, is the dowdy sister to the House's other three towers.

But despite its distance from the House's main entrance and somewhat more "utilitarian" appearance, the Daniels tower forms a social center that its residents widely praise.

"I think my life at Currier wouldn't have been half as fun without the sophomore tower," says Benjamin G. Edelman '02.

The appeal goes beyond cushy living arrangements--the tower does offer generously sized singles, but it also lacks private bathrooms.

Instead, the tower's real appeal lies in the myriad opportunities it provides for members of the House's youngest class to get to know each another.

While other Houses scatter their entering classes into isolating entryways, the sophomore tower brings its residents together.

"I know people who live in other Houses who, because they're all mixed in terms of class years, don't really connect for various reasons," said Wai-Kit Lo '02. "But when you have a sophomore tower, you get to know everyone even if only because they're the same year as you."

Currier has a "hallway culture" similar to that of most colleges. Walking down long hallways, taking the same elevator, and always traversing the same route to enter and exit Currier leads to an enormous amount of interaction.
