Suites
,no edit summary
The house is composed of nine suites: [[Trantor Mir]], [[Walden III|Walden]], [[Sinclair]], [[Bag End]], [[Zapata]], [[Valhalla]], [[Russell]], [[Karma]], and [[Falstaff]]. While all suites have the same basic amenities, each has its own twists and vibe. Perhaps the most significant difference between suites is proximity to basement common areas like the main kitchens and [[Rec Room]]. For example, Bag End and Falstaff members are less likely to run into each other at dinner since Bag End is closer to the [[O'Keeffe Dining Room]] while Falstaff is closer to the [[Renaissance Dining Room]].

Each room is either a ''large single'' meant for a single occupant, a ''double'' that can house two members, or a ''small single'' for a single occupant. Along with residents' rooms, each suite has a small kitchen and a lounge with a television.

Each suite has is led by a [[Suite Managers|Suite Manager]], who is responsible for ensures suite chores and bathroom cleanings are done. The Suite Manager hosts occasional meetings to keep suite members informed of changes in house policies, to vote on suite guests, and to vote on changes to suite rules such as quiet hours. Each suite also has a [[House Council]] member, whose suite chore involves overseeing the house [[Officers]].
