Keepin' it kosher for over 5000 years. Real kosher.
A lot of them live in EC, especially on floors 8 and lower so they don't have too many steps to walk on Shabbat. For years, some members of Columbia Hillel took advantage of Same-Suite Selection in order to "pass on" suites.[1] Suite members will recruit two Hillel members to live in the double of an exclusion suite. The following year, the group would apply for same-suite selection, thus retaining the suite, and find two new members to live in the double. This system ensured that interested Hillel members would be able to avoid the disasters of sophomore and junior housing by retaining EC suites and passing them on to new members as they graduate. Observers eventually wised up to this[2] and eliminated same-suite rights, to much protest.[3][4][5][6]
