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."
