As all dorms of the Berkshire Quad, Currier is served primarily by the [[Driscoll]] dining hall.

=== The Basement ===
For most dorms, it is not worth writing a seperate section for a seperate floor of the building, but Currier basement is one of a kind, and is isolated almost entirely from the floors above. The only way to get from the basement to another floor without exiting and reentering the building is via a treacherous spiral staircase running from the garbage room on the first floor to a landing in the center of the basement. Residents of upper floors carrying loads of laundry have a tough choice between the hassle of picking down the spiraling stairs, whose metal surfaces are more like rungs than steps, or leaving the building quadside and reentering through the center door.
The crown jewel of the basement is, without a doubt, the [[#The Ballroom|ballroom]], which deserves its own section below.
=== The Ballroom ===
Rooms in Currier run the gammut, from a gargantuan double and some senior singles in the high-ceilinged basement, to some sweet corner rooms on the higher floors, to the narrow but decent rooms off the center hall and center sides. Basement rooms with north facings have huge windows and very nice private balconies, which unfortunately nearly abut [[Route 2]].
