Carman Hall Arrival Instructions
Columbia Housing has partnered with a premier moving service on August 29 and August 30 to ensure that our new students and their families have a welcoming first experience as Columbia Lions.
This service is being offered at our largest first-year residence halls, Carman Hall, John Jay Hall, and Wien Hall due to the complexity of move-in operations required for these buildings.
Arrival Instructions
By Personal Vehicle: Head north on Broadway and turn east onto W. 114th Street. You may need to queue prior to turning on W. 114th Street so please approach from the south as shown in the graphic below. Temporarily park in the unload zone along the north side of the street. Moving support will be provided at the unload zone.
By Taxi or Rideshare: Follow the arrival instructions outlined above if your driver will take you through the unload zone. If you are dropped off near campus, proceed to the unload zone on foot. Moving support will be provided at the Carman unload zone.
By Public Transportation (Bus/Subway): Proceed to your unload zone on foot. Moving support will be provided at the Carman unload zone.
Show your Lion Pass to the moving company staff and let them do the heavy lifting!
The staff will unload your belongings into bins labeled with your room number and then take your bins to your room. It may take up to 30 minutes for your items to arrive.
If you arrived by personal vehicle, you will need to find parking on an open street or in a garage.
Streets in the area may be closed on Saturday and Sunday to facilitate move-in.
The Carman Tent is marked with a star on the map below.
