Cabot House is composed of the six buildings which surround the Radcliffe Quadrangle. The buildings are:

1. Briggs Hall (Entryways B,C,D)

2. Cabot Hall (Entryways E&F)

3. Whitman Hall (Entryways G&H)

4. Eliot Hall (Entryways I&J)

5. Bertram Hall (Entryways K&L)

6. Barnard Hall (Entryways M&N)

(Entryway A is an administrative building, where the building manager's office, the Resident Dean's office, the House Administrator's Office and the Academic Coordinator's office are located)

Cabot has 204 beds for student use. Of those, 39 are in hallway singles (6 are senior singles-- singles with a common room & private bathroom), and 159 are in suites-- suites make up 78% of housing in Cabot. Singles make up 22% of housing. This is the breakdown of room types:

• 45 single rooms (mostly in Cabot & Whitman Halls)

• 15 Doubles

• 43 Triples

Of the suites available (58 in total), all of them have a separate bedrooms for each student, with none living in a common room (N+1 or higher). Some of the suites labeled as triples contain more than 3 bedrooms. Due to the College-wide housing stipulation that no more than 3 may share a common room, some rooms which would be quads or quints are designated as triples.

Here is a quick overview of the room types:

Housing in Harvard Yard:

If the total number of students who will be on campus is greater than the number of bed available, then Cabot will be assigned spaces in Harvard Yard. We do not know, as of this date, if this will be the case. If it happens, then the college will be assigning a block of rooms to Cabot House. Housing in the Yard is only offered if the entire available stock of housing is filled.

You can choose to write in "Yard" in your housing form. However, Cabot will be assigning rooms in Cabot House first. Hence, if you list your preferences as "Yard, F-100, K-32, B-31," then the House Administrator will place you in either F-100, K-32 or B-31, if any are available, before placing you in the Yard. If all housing is filled in Cabot House, The House Administrator will go to the top of the list, look for the first instance of "Yard," and offer yard housing to the first group that lists it, then the next. If any student cancels housing after room assignments, anyone placed in the yard will be moved in to the space vacated by the student who cancelled their housing.
