<p>Also, the Swing Space common rooms are furnished so you don’t have to worry about that. </p>
<p>The suite kitchenettes came in handy my D’s freshman year when the dining halls went on strike for a few weeks. They have a small fridge, a microwave, a sink, and if I remember right, a two-burner stove.</p>
<p>My D pointed out that unlike other Yale residence halls, Swing Space rooms are connected by hallways on the same floor rather than entryways, making it much easier to meet and interact with a larger number of students.</p>
<p>Another good feature that comes to mind is that each floor is supplied with study room/lounges where you can take refuge if your suite is out of control, or have a larger gathering than can fit in the suites. </p>
<p>Stiles, where she lives, has the closest dining hall to Swing Space so lots of Swing Space residents eat there, which my D has enjoyed because she has met new friends that way.</p>
<p>The big downside is that the building is pretty far away from other stuff on campus. It was fine for my D’s freshman year though because it housed freshmen from three colleges and they all got to know each other.</p>
