We’ve all been there. We’ve heard the bass, drank the “juice,” seen the sweat, but have we really seen the suites? To see what’s going on when the lights are on, FM has compiled a list of the five most enviable suites, ranked in order from sweet to sweetest.
5. Adams Senior House
Between Insomnia Cookies and Claverly Hall, there is a parking lot that leads to Adams Senior House. This “room” is actually a three-story house shared by only four lucky Adamsians. The common room isn’t the biggest, but it is separate from the rest of the house, so noise control is not an issue. A gold plaque on the staircase that says “Liquor Locker” also hints that the house has a history of throwing down.
4. Eliot Cockpit
The Cockpit is located on the top floor of C-entryway, allowing you to walk off the beers you’re about the consume before you get to the party. The room comes with a small built-in bar and plenty of space for a good party. Lighting isn’t the greatest, though maybe that’s for the best. The Cockpit houses eight girls and four boys. The boys, according to Kefhira F. Pinto ’14, are essential for carrying kegs up the four flights of stairs.
3. Kirkland “Incestfest” Suite
Le Bleu, located in Kirkland B-51 and 52, is a refreshing mix of class and hospitality. Dressed in a blazer, Wesley H. Sagewalker ’14 greets his guests with English baroque music playing in the background. The 10 boys who share the suite declare their space to be a family environment, decorating the place with quirky homemade art and little potted mint plants. After all, nothing says family like Incestfest.
2. Pfoho Bell Tower
If you have somehow found yourself in the Quad, you might want to stop by the Bell Tower. This suite includes a big common room that houses four people connected to two other four-person duplexes, allowing it to host more people than most party suites on campus. Inside is a very nice and large built-in bar and skylights on the slanted ceilings that offer an incredible view of the Quad.
1. Currier Ten-Man
It really doesn’t get better than having a private elevator that opens up to your room. The Ten-Man has it all: air conditioning, skylights, a built in bar with a beer tap that is passed down through the years, and giant speakers that make the room bounce. This year’s residents have added their own personal touches to make it the best bachelor pad at Harvard, including a cornhole set and a beirut table adorned with a summer’s worth of bottle caps. Their goal for this year? To throw such a good party on Halloween that people will want to stay in Heaven and never go back to Hell.
