Common Spaces and Amenities

Come visit us at our new space on the third floor of Sever Hall (room 311) at Harvard Yard! Dudley Community's offers common spaces for the use of all Dudley students.

Student Space

Looking for a cozy place to hang out, study or relax in between classes? In our Student Space, you will find comfy couches and a table for working or eating in the main area, and a separate room with a table that can be used for study or group meetings. This space will observe the floor's quiet hours. You'll also find our lockers and kitchen area here! 

Common Room

Want to watch TV or hang out with a large group of friends? The Common Room is open for use of all Dudley Community students. We'll have some of our Dudley Community social events here too! 

Storing and Reheating Food

Want to bring food from home and enjoy it while on campus? In our student space, you will find a food prep area with a refrigerator and microwave, and hot water available instantly from the special faucet on the sink.

The refrigerator will be emptied of all items on Fridays between 5 and 10pm. We employ a "leave it kinder than you found it" philosophy to keep the space usable and available to all Community members - dispose of waste properly and clean up after yourself right away!

Lockers

Don't let your books and other belongings weigh you down! Dudley Community has a small number of lockers available in our student space. Email Carvina at ududley@fas.harvard.edu to inquire about reserving one. 

Printer

Dudley Community students may print using Crimson Print - info coming soon!

Building Access

All Dudley students should have "universal access" to undergraduate residential spaces during term time while active students - this includes Sever Hall and all undergradute House main entrances (try tapping your HUID to the small grey pads if the large black ones don't permit access). If your access does not work, notify us at ududley@fas.harvard.edu.

During summers and breaks, or for non-students visiting Dudley Community, make arrangements with the Dudley staff for access: 617-495-2256 or ududley@fas.harvard.edu

Partial or Full Meal Plans

Yearning for the convenience of a meal plan? Students in Dudley Community may purchase a 5-, 10-, or 21-meal per week meal plan. Find out more info and sign up using the HUDS web form found here. If you start to fill out the form, you will be able to see the costs on the second page.

Dudley students enrolled in a meal plan will have access to GSAS Commons (view hours and location) as their home dining hall and will also be able to use the meal plan at other House's dining halls, subect to interhouse restrictions. 

At GSAS Commons with a Dudley meal plan, one swipe at lunch is equal to up to $13 to spend on the a la carte options at lunch, and one swipe at dinner is worth $16- you pay any extra cost beyond those amounts.  Dudley students are the only undergraduates permitted to use their meal plans at GSAS Commons – other guests may eat  in GSAS Commons (limited to 4 at dinner) but must  pay for their meal directly using cash, credit, or Crimson Cash (Board Plus is not accepted).
