First-year students live in the Yard, Apley Court and the Union Dormitories, at the geographic and historic center of College life. Accommodations range from eighteenth-century buildings, which housed the earliest Harvard students as well as George Washington's troops, to Canaday Hall, the newest dormitory at the College completed in 1974. Classrooms and libraries are immediately at hand, and Annenberg Dining Hall is only a short walk away.

Most dorms have suites for three to six students. Suites contain from two to four bedrooms and a common room. A few have their own baths, though most share a bathroom with other suites. The FDO assigns students to suites rather than to particular bedrooms, and in almost any suite students should expect to share a bedroom for at least part of the year. Some dorms contain doubles, usually one fairly large room with a shared bath. Very few singles are available. Source

The Dorms: Apley Court, Canaday Hall, Grays Hall, Greenough Hall, Hollis Hall, Holworthy Hall, Hurlbut Hall, Lionel Hall, Massachusetts Hall, Matthews Hall, Mower Hall, Pennypacker Hall, Stoughton Hall, Straus Hall, Thayer Hall, Weld Hall, Wigglesworth Hall
