HOUSING - CUTTER HOUSE

Cutter is centrally located. It is directly across the street from the Campus Center, where students can get a quick bite to eat. Cutter house pic

Neilson Library, academic buildings and administrative buildings are only a 5-min walk away and downtown Northampton is only a 10-min walk away. 

Ziskind lvrm picZisk beau parl picIn the living room is a television and fireplace which gets plenty of use in the winter. Next to the living room is a beau parlor, a quiet room for reading. The room received its name in the late 1950s when students would meet their beaus there because men were not allowed upstairs. 

The rooms are standardized, each one with a large window that runs the width of the room and a drape provided by the college. A large closet and set of drawers are built into one end of the room and provide ample storage space.

The wings of Cutter and Ziskind come together to form a courtyard. Rumor has it that the area was originally designated a pool site. No evidence of a pool exists, although students still find that the courtyard is a great place to get a spring tan.
