Bwog Recommendations:
- Carman is very social! If you like talking to new people and making new connections, then Carman is for you.
- The bathroom situation is quite nice since you’re only sharing it with 3 other people. This may seem like a lot but keep in mind everyone has their own (vastly different) schedules.
- Carman is literally right next to Butler, so utilize it while you can!
Resident Opinions:
- “Carman is super conveniently located, it’s social but can be annoying after a while.”
- “The lounge space is very nice, and you can see the skyline of New York!”
- “The elevator kind of feels like a freight elevator all the time.”
