<p>Air Conditioning is only relevant the first 3 weeks and the last 3 weeks of the school year. Aside from that, it will not factor into your life in New York. If you stay for the summer, you will be in a dorm where A/C is provided.</p>
<p>RAs are selected by application + interview + group role-play session, and you can apply the spring of your Sophomore year to be an RA your junior year.</p>
<p>Carman’s singles are indeed only for RAs.</p>

<li><p>do the stereotypes of the first page still hold true? for eg amt of sophomores in furnald reduced.</p></li>
<li><p>do students tend to hang out more with others on the same floor, or ppl they meet in class/clubs/organizations? do ppl from LLC/furnald/JJ go to carman often for parties, or do parties usually take place within dorm communities?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>thanks</p>

<li><p>I can’t answer this, I graduated in 2006, but I can say that the characterization of the freshman-year dorms has changed little over time (at least since the mid-90s, which is where my knowledge of CU housing history starts). While I was there, we would typically vary the number of beds needed by freshmen in Furnald and Hartley/Wallach based on the exact number of people in the freshman class (which varies a little year-to-year based on yield, of course). If there have been major policy changes for freshman housing since 2006, I’d be very interested to know.</p></li>
<li><p>It’s a mix and depends on how social you are. Of the close friends I have from college nearly 6 years after graduation (whoa, goddamn…), though, none are from my floor and only a few are from clubs. More are from class or friends-of-friends or parties or playing frisbee or snow football on south lawn. During my freshman year, some (half?) of the people on my floor were really tight with each other, others had social lives revolving around other groups, and a few were library rats who were never seen or heard from.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Parties depend on who you know. Generally, the best parties will be either at frat houses on 114th/113th, off-campus apartments, or in East Campus. Parties in Carman/JJ are generally lame due to lack of space/freedom, although you can get away with a bit more in the LLC if your RA is cool (it’s suite-style, ~10 people to a suite).</p>
<p>Okay quick question. So I was doing my housing app and I accidentally put that I smoke and clicked continue, not realizing that I wouldn’t be able to edit my profile after continuing. I mean do I smoke a little occasionally but not tobacco. What should I do?? I don’t want the fact that I smoke on occasion to affect which dorm or floor that I’m assigned!</p>
<p>^I’m pretty sure that smoking is banned in all freshmen dorms (though I’ve heard plenty don’t follow the rules anyway), so I doubt they would go out of their way to put smokers on the same floor if they’ll have to go outside to do it anyway.</p>
<p>how fun/common are the parties at Carman?</p>
<p>hey! </p>
<p>im from germany and thinking of staying in east campus over the summer while i do a 2 month internship in NY. could someone tell me a bit about east campus especially: </p>
<ul>
