<p>Which ones should I ask for? They ask you to list your top 8 choices as a freshman (i.e. Carman doubles, John Jay single, John Jay double, etc.)</p>

<p>I know John Jay and Carman are the party ones and Furnald is the quiet one, but what are Hartley and Wallach like?</p>

<p>I think i put hartley or something for my top choice. its like you live in a suite with higher grades but you get ur own bedroom… john jay single is my second choice. but jj single sounds kinda lonely to me…</p>

<p>Hartley and wallach i thought kind of sucked. It’s the whole Living Learning Center ******** which sophomores use to get singles. It really depends on who is there but in general it will be really quiet and a more family-vibe to it, but definitely less parties. As for JJ and Carmen, it all depends on the floor, but since you’re bound to have party floors, you can easily go to those floors and party.</p>

<p>I would go for carmen or JJ. Most of my friends are from my carmen floor and mutual friends of them. Living in either provides you with a core group of friends. You can always branch out later on. The LLCs definitely do not have that community vibe and is s more of a family with a number of independent members. (a weak family i guess)</p>
