Participants in the Yale for Life programs stay in the Yale College "Swing Space."
The fully air-conditioned Swing building, completed in August 1998, has approximately 100 two-bedroom suites available in the summer. Each suite contains two single bedrooms, a furnished living room, kitchenette and bath. Weekly linen and maid service is provided. The Swing building has two computer clusters, four seminar rooms, an exercise room, one large meeting room, TV room and laundry facility. And, it's only steps away from the world-class Payne Whitney Gymnasium at which participants receive complimentary memberships for the duration of the program.

Program meals conclude with brunch on Saturday, June 8th.
