Residential Buildings
As opposed to ungrouped dormitories or "residential colleges" as employed at such institutions as Yale University or Princeton University (in imitation of the colleges of Cambridge and Oxford), Dartmouth residence halls are grouped into nine "communities," each composed of one to three "clusters" of dormitories. Dartmouth houses approximately 3,300 students in its facilities, or about 85% of the student body; the remaining 15% opt to live in off-campus housing. The Housing Office consists of three employees that house students four times a year (not including the interim period), due to the college's enrollment plan (the "D-Plan").
Every cluster or group of clusters is administered by a live-in Community Director. Approximately one-third of the rooms are singles; the remaining rooms vary among "one, two, and three-room doubles, one, two, and three-room triples, two, three, and four-room quads, apartments and suites."

Famous quotes containing the words residential and/or buildings:
“[The Republicans] offer ... a detailed agenda for national renewal.... [On] reducing illegitimacy ... the state will use ... funds for programs to reduce out-of-wedlock pregnancies, to promote adoption, to establish and operate children’s group homes, to establish and operate residential group homes for unwed mothers, or for any purpose the state deems appropriate. None of the taxpayer funds may be used for abortion services or abortion counseling.”
—Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)
“The desert is a natural extension of the inner silence of the body. If humanity’s language, technology, and buildings are an extension of its constructive faculties, the desert alone is an extension of its capacity for absence, the ideal schema of humanity’s disappearance.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
