A beauty to behold—the convenience of the Wallach-John Jay tunnel/hallway/whatchamacallit is astounding.

I’m a proud Wallach resident, to say the very least. The friends I have, the kitchen and spacious lounge and every floor, the bathroom ratio, and the fact that they’re single-use—what else is there not to love? Well, maybe just one thing. If only there was better access to dining halls and other campus resources…

But fear not. The hallway connecting John Jay and Wallach is about to save you, just as it saved me. 

Too lazy to put on your jacket and ready to catch up on the latest with your friends over dinner? Well, Wallach residents, John Jay is right there, only an elevator ride and a few steps away. Up embarrassingly late and could really go for a cheese quesadilla? JJ’s has got you—and still no need for that thick jacket. 

Need a comfy little lounge to rest in? John Jay’s main lounge is waiting for you (provided it’s not packed, which regrettably, isn’t often. But that’s beside the point). Ready for a game of Valorant, Super Smash Bros, or whatever game is popular these days? The Esports Lounge, once again, has got your back. Or even health services during this flu season—they’ve got you.

And you only need to sign in once to make it into both! Handy dandy little tunnel, I just love you so much. In fact, I can even make it to Hartley without requiring re-swiping my ID—so next time I lock my ID in my room post-shower, I won’t even have to venture out into the cold to get to the Housing Hospitality Desk.  

John Jay-Wallach hallway/tunnel/portal/whatever you are, you’re a lifesaver. Whenever I need to visit a friend in John Jay (let’s face it, they’re the ones visiting Wallach more often), you’ve just got me. Life is so much easier with you.
