Single, double or suite

  • If you like to throw parties, you need a suite.
  • Rising sophomores should join a group of rising juniors and seniors looking for a suite. This is often the only way to get a 7-person suite in 47 Claremont or an 8-person suite in Ruggles.
  • Rising juniors and seniors often need rising sophomores to fill the double in the EC Exclusion Suites they're trying to get. They are able to recruit rising sophomores yet still have a good chance at getting the suite because they intend to invoke the EC Exclusion Rule. Under this rule, only the top three point values are used in calculating the the group point value.

Room size

Bathrooms

  • Privacy.
  • The hot water in some buildings takes a while to heat up in the morning (Schapiro, 47 Claremont).

Residence hall location

  • Distance to campus. 47 Claremont is far away and Plimpton is very far away.
  • 116th and Claremont is a very windy intersection, which makes the long walk to campus from 47 Claremont even more miserable in winter months.

Social life

  • East Campus is probably the most social residence hall, with lots of parties.

Kitchens

  • Wien doesn't have floor kitchens.
  • Dishwashers are worth having because they save you time and keep your suite's kitchen tidy.
