An East Campus exclusion suite or ECX suites is a particular type of 5-person suite in the high-rise part of East Campus. Entrances to ECX suites can be found on every even-numbered floor from 8 to 20. There are 8 such suites per floor.
Description
All the suites are identical. They have two floors. On the entry (even-numbered) floor, you can find:
- a 286 sq ft lounge
- a 55 sq ft kitchen
A staircase leads down to a lower floor where you can find:
- 3 singles, each between 135 and 141 sq ft
- a 173 sq ft double
- a bathroom with 2 sinks, a toilet, and a bath
- 2 relatively large storage closets for everyone in the suite to use
Residents
Most ECX suites are occupied by 3 seniors or juniors in the singles and 2 sophomores in the double. Occasionally 1 or 2 juniors live in the double because they desperately want to live in a suite rather than Broadway, Schapiro or Wien. Even more rarely, a group of 5 seniors will take an ECX suite either in suite selection or senior regroup. Thus, 2 seniors end up in an ECX double. Most seniors find this highly undesirable because the double is only 173 sq ft. By comparison, some seniors live in singles of 170 sq ft.
East Campus exclusion rule
If you want to try to get an ECX suite, you can invoke the rule during registration (and not later). Only the top 3 point values of the 5-member group will be averaged to calculate the group point value. However, the group will then only be able to pick an EC high-rise 5-person suite. If all of these are gone by the time the group shows up for their appointment time, the group will automatically drop to General Selection. If the group chose to stay together in such an event, each individual will receive a point value equivalent to the sum of the 5 point values divided by 5. E.g., 30+30+30+10+10 / 5 = 110 / 5 = 22. If the group chose to disband in the event of dropping to General Selection, each individual will receive their class point value, either 10, 20, or 30. Groups invoking this rule can have a maximum of 2 Barnard students, and their points will not count.
