Tufts first-year housing guide

Miller and Houston Halls face each other across the Reservoir Quad: Some say in a friendly rivalry. These dorms are mirror images of one another, besides slight differences — like Miller’s accent color is a fiery orange while Houston’s is a soothing blue. I lived in Miller in a quad-facing room with the perk of beautiful sunset views. Don’t expect the rooms to be gigantic, but many of them come with ample built-in storage. My room’s layout had both beds in an L-shape along the walls; our desks faced each other in the center of the room (get used to studying together). Especially on upper floors, rooms will run hot in the early fall, but a strong fan will do the trick. The elevator is also a nice bonus when doing laundry and moving in!
