Though changes in Dining aren’t as drastic as last year’s, some business is going on, and we think there are some bits in here you’ll like.
- JJ will offer new items such as “sandwiches and sliders at the Pizza Station, and new specialty burger and sandwich options at the grill.”
- JJ’s Place will have expanded hours on Thursday through Saturday, from 12-8pm.
- Some more booths have been set up in Ferris Booth Commons.
- John Jay has been refurbished with new chairs, new light fixtures, and a newly painted white ceiling meant to add light to the dining hall. This sounds dramatic, but we snuck in for pictures and were pretty underwhelmed. (see below)
- The Nescafe machine that loved and left us is back! (see farther below)

@Anonymous Please open John Jay for three meals a day, seven days per week. It would promote more people to stay on campus.
@Um oh God, that white ceiling really clashes.
@Anonymous THE SHIT NEVER LOOKED HOGWARTS. PLEASE STOP SAYING THAT.
@O! That is the cutest damn rodent I have ever seen.
@Anonymous The chairs are new, they are exactly the same color but sort of lacquered, or layered with some sort of shit anyway.
@lol white men *from* manhattan
@WHY is john jay still not opened before 11am and why is it still closed on friday and saturday???? does columbia still think that most of the students are white men manhattan? some motherfuckers need to be slapped
@Anonymous can’t believe they covered up the woodwork on the ceiling. clearly no respect for wood
and frankly, I liked it dark. much more elitish/hogwartsish feeling (struggling for an adjective there, but you know what I mean)
@Anonymous agreed. I cringed when I read they repainted it. :/
@Anonymous does jj’s place do take-out or did they discontinue that completely?
@what did the john jay ceilings look like before?
@Anonymous Unpainted dark wood, just like the walls.
@Anonymous I don’t think I spent much time staring up at the ceilings while in John Jay…but the back room somehow looks better. I remember that always seeming like the more depressing side corner of the dining hall where the loners went to do their crossword puzzles and the decor was much less impressive.
@Can we really call it “dining” anymore? Honestly, it should be the Housing & Scavenging Center
@'12 Maybe I’m remembering incorrectly, but those chairs don’t look new to me…
@Anonymous Pretty sure the new chairs are the ones in the white room.
