<p>The sq. ft. is kind of blurry in the diagram, but John Jay rooms are something like 110-120 sq. st.</p>

<p>A small single is <100 ... average single 110-120 ... large single that you'd get as a senior is 140+</p>

<p>A small double is <175 ... average double is maybe 190-220.</p>

<p>It's not only SqFt that's important, but the layout.</p>

<p>very true, JJ rooms will seem smaller than they are because they are very rectangular. My room in Schapiro (106sq ft) was smaller than my JJ room (110sq ft) but seemed bigger cause it was a square rather than a rectangle. JJ singles go from 108 to 125 sq ft but the layouts are pretty bad so no matter what you will feel that it is pretty cramped. </p>

<p>thats the link for JJ specifically....just click on one of the floors to the right and it tells you the size of every room. Use Internet Explorer because it comes up tiny with firefox for some reason.</p>
