Columbia Dorms

An Underappreciated Aspect to Choosing a Dorm : ApplyingToCollege
- Important aspect (blu3mo)
-
What about incoming freshmen?
-
Carman Hall, Furnald Hall, Hartley Hall, John Jay Hall, and Wallach Hall.
-
-
If you want a single room, I think you should apply for Furnald, JohnJay, or Wallach! If you end up like me and choose Carman, you might unfortunately end up in a double room 😭 Furnald is definitely quiet, but the other dorms have parties until late at night and some people blasting music, so be careful when answering that you’re “outgoing” 🥹

Order:
- John Jay
- Wallach
- Furnald
- Carman
- Hartley
-
Carman
- Recently renovated, so it’s popular?
- Known for being a party dorm.
-
Furnald
- The lounge is a nice social space (blu3mo).
- However, it might not be exactly what you’re looking for.
- Has air conditioning.
- Rooms are relatively spacious.
- Shared bathrooms.
- The lounge is a nice social space (blu3mo).
-
Hartley
- Has a bad reputation?
- In the introduction video, they say, “Even if you don’t get into your first-choice dorm, it’s still fun” lol
- Assuming it’s not popular.
-
John Jay
- I like the lounge here.
- Not as social as Carman, but still has a social vibe.
- Seems to strike a good balance.
- Has its own room and attached bathroom.
- However, no air conditioning.
- It has a heater, so summer might be tough.
