For smaller groups (eg, Advanced/Challenge classes or tape groups), Schedules space generally makes more sense than CAC space. Schedules now has an online interface for reserving rooms – you can even pick a specific room that is probably available, but you should still give them guidance on what properties you want, because sometimes your choice will turn out to be unexpectedly unavailable.

Room comments
- 5-234 (and nearby)
- 4-265 and 4-261 (One has tables, which makes it superior to the other which has desks)
- 2-13x (some vaues of x are better than others – 2-131 is best, 2-132, 2-135, and 2-136 are all decent too)
- 66-168 (although note that the AV goes through the projector – the room's regular AV is broken); some other 66-1 rooms are good or acceptable as well
- 36-112 is good (and large enough to hold 4 squares, or 5 in a pinch, so it's listed on Rooms We Reserve too)
- 4-1 has several rooms with slightly raised power sources all over the floor
The "Room Reservations" folder of the officers' Google Drive has a doc called "Squares Reservations naomi" with a tab called "Room Preferences" that has some additional comments. (Not linked here since this page is public, and the doc is shared by link.)
