Housing for Secondary School Students
This page contains content from the Summer School 2009. For current information, visit the Harvard Summer School website at www.summer.harvard.edu.
Many of the Harvard College dormitories that secondary school students inhabit in and around historic Harvard Yard are more than a century old. As an SSP student on campus, you live with fellow SSP students in double or triple rooms, some of which once housed such noted individuals as Henry David Thoreau, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Bill Gates, and Matt Damon. Recent renovations have made the dorms comfortable while maintaining their unique ambience.

Resident proctors
Carefully chosen from an applicant pool of Harvard undergraduate and graduate students, proctors live with students and serve as advisors on all matters great and small. They are available to help you adjust to college and dormitory life, suggest cultural and recreational activities, and help you find your way around Cambridge and Boston.
Sophomores
Also known as rising juniors, sophomores or those who have finished their 10th year, are typically younger than other SSP students. Therefore, they observe a curfew and are housed with a higher ratio of proctors to supervise and assist them.
Meal plan
All resident students eat their meals in Annenberg Hall and are on the meal plan, which covers three meals a day, seven days a week.
