John Jay Hall Arrival Instructions
We’re pleased to announce that Columbia Housing has partnered with a premier student moving service on August 26 and August 27 to ensure that our new students and their families have a positive, comfortable, and welcoming first experience as Columbia Lions.
This service is being offered at our largest first-year residence halls, Carman Hall and John Jay Hall, due to the complexity of move-in operations required for these buildings.
Arrival Instructions
Head north on Broadway and turn east onto College Walk (where W. 116th Street meets campus). You may need to queue prior to turning onto College Walk so please approach from the south as shown on the graphic below. Temporarily park in the unload zone designated for John Jay. 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 John Jay unload zone.
By Public Transportation: Proceed to your unload zone on foot. Moving support will be provided at the John Jay unload zone.
