Ah, DeWolfe. This overflow housing including students from Kirkland, Leverett, Quincy, and Winthrop is a staple of the River housing options for sophomores and juniors. There are two buildings, 10 and 20 DeWolfe, each of which have six floors.

The DeWolfe buildings are essentially full of apartment style suites for college student that consists of two doubles. The common rooms are spacy, and rooms come with kitchenettes as well as in-suite bathrooms with bathtubs. Not to mention that they are air-conditioned for those hot first few weeks and are also cable-ready if you’ve got a flat-screen TV lying around. What’s great about DeWolfe housing is that you get to be living with a mix of students from all other houses, albeit on different floors. This makes DeWolfe a very lively building, and it doesn’t hurt that there aren’t resident tutors living on every floor.

But all good stories come to an end. The downside of living in DeWolfe is that you’re not as integrated into house life as other friends who are actually living in their assigned houses. Another disadvantage is that eating can be a hassle since you’re technically supposed to eat in your own dining hall, and let’s just say the walk from DeWolfe to Kirkland is not so pleasant in the winter if you’re meeting up with some friends from your real house.

If you’re interested in DeWolfe, think fast because you apply at the end of freshman year.
