Dorms at Columbia
The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.
This is the entrance to my dorm, John J. And most. So I live in John J, which is a freshman dorm, which is all singles. If you look here, you can actually see the floor plan of what a florin John General looks like. All these books right here are my books for the literature humanities course, which is required for all the students. I have some maps around my room for decoration, and everybody else gets a dress her like this. What I would recommend is getting a mini fridge because those help out a lot. Columbia actually has an ICO rep sale at the beginning of each year where people can go and buy use mini fridges. I did not get my many freed from that cell because usually they're smaller fridges, and sometimes they don't work. It's good if you want to make sure you're helping the environment. It's my window starts right now, so you can't see anything. I would highly recommend man books for anything in college. Things Columbia housing is that a lot of the dorms do not have air conditioning. So in the first summer months, it's pretty hot, humid, and there's not really much for ways back unless you have a child, a family, this even that it's pretty hard, huh? My blankets, my bed, as I said, and all the closets are really nice. They come with a full length mirror and a shelf up above, and you could see my tie Paz my umbrella and is plenty of space shoes down there. Then under that storage, there's plenty of as well, I know a lot of people who have basically risen their beds and put their dressers underneath it as well as mini fridges. I did for you to say that for many bridges, you can rent a mini fridge microwave combo from the school, and that's actually the only way you're allowed to have a microwave in your roof. My hot water maker Columbia actually doesn't allow coffeemakers in dorms. Funny, I have a wife, keyboard, mouse, some other office utensils here, and then there's just lots of storage empties different drawers. Then I keep my shower caddy bottom through here. Of course, I think that's an essential that everybody should know about before coming to college. Having a coward shop, shower caddy is really essential, and one of the things about my dorm that is really awesome is my view. If you look out my window here, I can see all of South Lawn. Every night I get to see beautiful sunsets like this. It's one of the things that just makes my dad club. On each floor we have these elevator wells, a board, brothers, weekly postings and we have a lounge. This is what our lounge looks like, kind of messy right now, but a lot of times will get together and watch TV here. Choosing dorms at Columbia is generally pretty easy. As a freshman, you rank which storms you want to get into, and then they just randomly draw you, and hopefully you get your first pick. I know a lot of people do, but I also know some people who are kind of unhappy about their picks in dorms and then for upperclassmen is basically the simple lottery system where you choose the storm we want to be in. I got a single my first year, so I don't have experience with choosing a roommate. I know that you can find someone in trees, a roommate land as an upperclassman. Generally, people get a group of people together and try to get into a suite, and some of the other believes a lot of upperclassman dormitories here have sweets with kitchens and lounges and such, and then sew. There's a mix of different types of social environments. In the dorms, there is a couple called Carmen in the Sea, which are more known as the party dorms. Then there's storms like Wallich and Hartley and Fernald, which are now known as the quieter dorms for people Just put their heads down, study, and then I'm in John J, which is kind of a mix between the two We have really good culture together. We all go and do things like watch movies that are lounge together. So there's really that great mix between so social nous privacy.
