47 Claremont is one of the smallest residence halls. A converted apartment building, it is made up entirely of suites. These were renovated in 2004 and includes hardwood floors, crown mouldings, and new kitchen equipment.

The horrible basement lounge has a wall map of the world during World War II. Lots of countries are occupied by the Nazis, and others have funny old names like Rhodesia. People have written all sorts of funny comments on the map, mainly pro- or anti-colonialism.

Facilities

Each suite has a kitchen, but not a common room.

Suites

  • 6 3-person suites with 3 singles
  • 6 4-person suites with 4 singles
  • 1 1st floor 5-person suite
  • 1 1st floor 6-person suite with 4 singles and 1 double
  • 10 7-person suites with 3 singles and 2 doubles

Advantages

  • Building has its own superintendent and janitor who generally get things done faster than Housing Services.
  • Allows groups of all sophomores to get suites with 3 singles.

Disadvantages

  • Lots of inhumanely tiny 81 sq ft rooms (3C, 1E and 2E lines).
  • Far from everything except Barnard. It is highly advisable to beg security for swipe access to the Barnard tunnels.
  • Dean Quigley lives next door, and his secretary will occasionally email residents to complain about the noise.
