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.”
