<p>Does any one know what a walkthrough double room is?</p>

162

<p>A walk-through double consists of one main entry door for two rooms. So one person has to ‘walk-through’ the other person’s room to access their door.</p>

163

<p>so its neither a single nor a double - somewhere in between?</p>

164

<p>

</p>

<p>It’s like we don’t even have to reverse engineer who you are anymore :p</p>

165

<p>WHAT??! lol what room did you have? i’m very excited!!!</p>

166

<p>^If I told you, you’d find out who I am, Mr. 1231 :p</p>

167

<p>Come on!! we should party. College Confi PARTY!!</p>

168

<p>

</p>

<p>LoL, this would be the most awkward thing in the world, you also asked which room I had (freshman year) which wouldn’t tell you who I am, I’m not going to tell you where I am this year, but I was in a Carman double freshman year and I then moved to Hartley soph year because I wanted a single. Who knows, I might just meet you randomly next fall. But I likely won’t because the freshman class is huge.</p>

169

<p>If you give me ten bucks, I’ll tell you where he lives</p>

170

<p>does anyone know how to figure out your address?
im from california and i got some shipping to do
lol</p>

171

<p>look urself up in the columbia directory</p>

172

<p>as for shipping
 cool your jets for a bit. if i’m not mistaken, earliest move-in is the 25th for coop
 and lerner only takes packages from new mailboxes 14 days in advance (7 if it’s bulk). </p>

<p>so
 I know you’re excited
 but you still have a few days to wait until you can ship stuff
</p>

<p>oh
 and free taqueria quesadilla if anyone can figure out who I am/where I lived last year.</p>

173

<p>you’re lucky I’m not hungry.</p>

174

<p>haha
 denz, you probably have the best shot as you’ve been around as long as I’ve been posting
</p>

175

<p>Which dorm typically has good views?</p>

176

<p>

</p>

<p>best views are JJ rooms on high floors facing campus</p>

177

<p>for freshmen? Any room on floor 8 or higher for any building will have good views, especially those facing campus. Anything on floor 11 or above in Carman or JJ will have particularly good natural light, as you’ll be “above the canopy” in the urban jungle.</p>

<p>My son was in an LLC suite his freshman year. One of his suitemates is still his best friend 2 years later. I was surprised at the common living area and kitchen. I expected ‘nicer’, but all the kids seemed to like it. My son chose the LLC his second year and got in a suite with his best friend and some other students he knew. There was one common bathroom for the whole suite
kind of surprising to mom but not a problem for the suitemates. </p>

179

<p>So I was browsing the CU wiki and saw JJ and the LLC don’t have A/C. As a Florida girl who’d die without air conditioning, I found it hard to believe. What’s it like in the summer? Is it truly noticeable? </p>

<p>Also, I consider myself very introverted. But I don’t want to not make friends my first year. But then I love my privacy and an ability to retreat if I need to. And I’m certainly not a party/alcohol person. Any suggestions? And I thought I saw on Columbia’s Housing site that Carman had twelve singles - are those for RAs or something?</p>

<p>And, on the subject of RAs, does anyone know how they’re selected? I’m wondering because I heard they get out of paying for the room or something along those lines
</p>

<p>(Sorry for reviving a kind of old thread
 =/)</p>

<p>Smartical,</p>

<p>There is more than enough social life in John Jay. I heavily recommend you try to get into this dorm. </p>

<p>I will write a longer opinion piece about the dorm differences when it actually matters. e.g. early April.</p>
