Ziskind House and its
sister, Cutter, share the distinction of being the most modern
houses on campus. The enthusiasm in Ziskind is infectious
and it is this enthusiasm that creates the wonderful atmosphere
in the house. At the all-campus barbecue in September, Ziskindites
proudly wear their black electrical tape Z's to show their
house spirit.
 Ziskind is centrally located.
It is directly across the street from the Campus Center,
where students can get a quick bite to eat or hang out with
friends.
Neilson
library, academic and administrative buildings are a five-minute
walk away, and downtown Northampton a 10-minute walk away.
 In the living room, there is a television and fireplace which gets plenty of use in the winter. Thursday night television is practically a Ziskind tradition and a crowd of students usually takes a study break for ER on Thursday nights!
Next to the living room is a beau parlor, a quiet room for
studying or reading. The room
also
houses the steadily growing Ziskind house library and is
a great place for meetings and gatherings.
 Upstairs there are 65 single
rooms, some of which are assigned to incoming students, and
eight doubles. Each room
has a
window that runs the width of the room, providing much
sunlight (drapes are provided by the college.) A large closet
and
set of drawers are built into one end of the room to give
ample storage space. Every room is also wired for CyberSmith.
The
wings of Ziskind and Cutter come together to form a courtyard.
In the winter it is a fantastic place for snowball
fights.
In the spring and fall it is often used for house barbecues.
