Next has fantastic facilities - in our opinion, the best on campus. We have a fantastic dining hall, a large spacious area on our first floor that's great for study breaks, a courtyard, a music room, exercise and weight rooms, a fully-equipped kitchen for cooking delicious dinners, a game area, a laundry room, and an Athena cluster.
During the summer of 2011, Next House underwent renovations. Consequently, some of the images have not yet been updated.
Our Tastefully Furnished Lounge, or the TFL as we call it, is a large spacious area on our first floor populated with a plethora of green, comfortable couches. We hold a bunch of study breaks there, and it's a great meeting spot for events. During the Spring semester, we convert our TFL into a large theater and put on our annual musical, Next Act. Oh, and did we mention that we have a large high-definition television with DirecTV and surround sound? And did we mention that we have a ton of movies and equipment that you can borrow?
Next house has an amazing dining hall. In fact, it looks more like a restaurant inside than it does your typical dining hall! With a comfortable atmosphere and a fantastic view of the Charles river and downtown Boston, you'll find students eating there for dinner, and studying there late into the night.
New to Next House are a Smoker Station (smoked meats), a Roma Station (daily handmade Italian pastas), and Bits and Bytes (hors d'oeuvres, appetizers, baked potatoes, nachos, dim sum, and much more!).
The Private Dining Room, or PDR, is a conference room off to the side in Dining. It's a great private space for studying, group meetings, and small gatherings. There's also a ceiling-mounted LCD projector and recessed projection screen for watching movies.

The weight room on the first floor has much of the equipment necessary to maintain an active healthy lifestyle. The exercise room, conveniently located next to the main stairwell, contains all sorts of equipment including ellipticals, stationary bikes, and treadmills.
Yes, even Nexties have to do laundry. That's why we have a well-equipped laundry room with plenty of washers and dryers.
Residents can pay using TechCash or quarters, and can also check the status of the machines remotely from their rooms, using the LaundryView service.
