Rooms

Rooms are an essential part of the CRC life if you're a resident, as it's the place in which you actually sleep at night -- unless you end up sleeping in the suite couches, which we really don't recommend. 

Around ⅔ of residents live in a double room, shared with another resident. These will come with two beds, which may be lofted, but not bunked; two desks; two chairs; two closets; and two pairs of wastebaskets, one for recycling and one for other waste.

The rest live in singles, but most of the single rooms are taken by upperclassmen during the room allocation process.

The standard double is 14.5 feet by 11.5 feet, although certain rooms are slightly larger or smaller. The single rooms tend to vary in size based on floor and location.

All rooms are equipped with air conditioning. You're not going to need it for most months of the year, but it is useful in May and June when the temperature returns to acceptable levels again.

Suites

CRC's three floors are each split into four suites. Each suite consists three or four double rooms and several single rooms. These surround a shared lounge space, equipped with sofas, chairs, tables, and desk lamps. 

While each room is part of a specific floor and suite, all suites are open to all members of CRC, and people often spend time hanging out in each other's suites. The lounges are the center of social interaction and exam review during the course of the academic year, offering a smaller community within the larger social group of CRC.

The suite system also helps if you aren't best friends with your roommate- or if you live in a single- by offering an additional space for socialization. 

CRC's first floor is gender-segregated: the right side is designated for female-identifying students, and the left side for male-identifying students. The second and third floors are mixed-gender. The building has no provision for gender-neutral or gender-non-specific housing.

MAIN LOUNGE

The main lounge is the center for all residential-college-wide activities. CRC's all-college meetings take place in the main lounge on Sundays. In addition, the room can be used by any member of CRC to hold their own meetings and practices.

The main lounge has a small grand piano, couches, the largest kitchen in the building, and a television with cable channels. 

BIG SCREENING ROOM

The BSR is the larger of our screening rooms. Located off the main lounge, the screening room has an HD projector and a fifteen-foot wall screen, and is outfitted with sofas and chairs to make it one of the best places for a medium-sized group to watch films anywhere on campus.

The room also has a Wii and Xbox, and plays host to most of CRC's video gaming tournaments and events throughout the year.

TINY SCREENING ROOM

The TSR is the smaller of our two screening rooms and feels less like a theater and more like a living room.

The room has a coffee table, some couches, a pair of tacky pillows, and a projector with connectors for laptop computers and a blu-ray player.

RADIO ROOM

The Radio Room, exclusively managed by the President, is perhaps one of the most mysterious of CRC's open-to-all facilities. Every year, the Radio Room is the center of life for Radiothon, CRC's annual 50-hour radio broadcast fundraiser.

But beyond those hours, access is controlled by the President. The room contains a USB mixer board, instrument and vocal mics, and everything you should need to record voiceovers, audio stories, or music
