What Former Residents Say:

“Spacious and well-lit rooms with a great 4-to-1 bathroom ratio. Carman is in an excellent location, and the setup is conducive to meeting new people—all important during your first year.”

“Carman was the perfect hall for me my first-year at Columbia. It was extremely social; everyone was always in the hallways and lounges talking, watching TV, or just hanging out. It is very difficult to feel isolated in such a lively dorm.”

“I loved having a bathroom within my suite. My room was also quite large, even for a double, and having lots of space was nice."

"I absolutely loved my room and living situation, it was wonderful. I loved the basement practice room as well and I hope that it continues to grow and thrive. Great experience and wonderful floor community."

"I love Carman Hall. From the social life, to the quality of rooms, to the friends I made along the way, this building was the centerpiece of my freshman year. Safe to say it would have been completely different otherwise. Overall, positive."
