On-Campus Living
Apply for Housing
The housing application period will open in February.
On-campus housing is available in Harvard College dormitories and undergraduate houses. Many dormitories are more than a century old, and recent renovations have made them more comfortable while maintaining their historic ambience.
Living with students from around the world
Most buildings have suites of two or four bedrooms with a common room. Some suites have a private bath, and some share a bath. Other buildings contain rooms off a hallway with a shared bath.
While the buildings are coed, suites are single sex. Your roommates come from the United States or abroad. Often, English-speaking students live with students whose primary language is not English. Because getting to know new people is a valuable part of the Summer School, roommate requests cannot be honored.
Harvard students are your guides
Harvard College undergraduate and graduate students serve as resident proctors. Living in the dormitories, they keep general order and help you adjust to college life by advising you, suggesting cultural and recreational activities, and guiding you around Boston and Cambridge.
Dining
The housing fee includes a meal plan. As an on-campus resident, you dine in Annenberg Hall and enjoy menus that reflect the international character of the Summer School. Meals are served three times a day, seven days a week. You also have the option to open a Crimson Cash debit account for various on-campus and off-campus purchases.
