<p>I'm trying to decide between Carman and John Jay. I know I want a dorm with all freshman. Since John Jay is mostly singles, are the people kind of anti-social, or is there some floor-unity? I know there's tons of social activity in Carman, and I like that, plus I like the Suite arrangements, but I'd prefer a single. So basically, I want a single room in a social dorm with a lot of floor-unity and social life. Does John Jay fit the bill, or should I sacrifice the single and go for Carman with guaranteed floor interaction?</p>
<p>I was feeling the same way and I went with Carman</p>
<p>John Jay is the 2nd most social dorm, after Carman. There is a ton of floor unity at JJ and I too want a single. I chose JJ because I wanted a somewhat social dorm, but a dorm where I can return to and also get work done and have some privacy. I have heard Carman is noisy at all hours and most students have to go to Butler to study.</p>
<p>i picked JJ single and then JJ double...JJ has a lot of unity and is very social...carmen can be overly social. when i was there during days on campus, this random guy came up to me and was like there's plenty of weed in carmen... ya so hopefully i get JJ</p>
<p>when I was at days on campus, the floor unity at jj was amazing. all the doors were kept open and everyone knew and partied with eachother.</p>
<p>yay, weed! (please ignore me)</p>
<p>My son is in JJ this year, and his social life, which is very active, definitely revolves around his floor. They are an incredibly tight-knit group. I guess you could choose to be anti-social there, but you sure don't have to, and he loves having a single, yet being surrounded by friends.</p>
