Welcome!

Upon hearing about the ten-person super suites of renovated Carman, this Bwogger knew she had to investigate. Having never entered the illustrious freshman residence hall that is Carman, there seemed to be only two possibilities of what was to come: either this would be an off-brand Bachelor in Paradise or the den of an above ground sex dungeon. But alas, this Carman super suite was more shocking than we could have ever imagined.

Where were the puddles of elevator vomit? The confetti of condoms in the halls? It didn’t smell like rubbing alcohol, Gatorade, and sweat—it smelled like laundry! With walls reminiscent of a freshly painted Blink gym and carpets like those of a high-end motel, Makena Kiara and Olivia Grinberg, both CC ’22, share in the bewilderment, “Yeah, we thought Carman would be a lot crazier than it is.”

When asked why they chose Carman, Makena and Olivia answered that they wanted to experience a complete college life. As one of the few suites on their floor occupied by mostly non-athletes, the pair feels they may not be the most accurate portrayal of life at Carman, but are definitely one of the most aesthetic.

Makena, inspired by the positivity of the sunflower and has curated her side of their enormous double in this image. Olivia, by fate, has adorned her walls with posters of bees and botany that, she says, are the same posters that her brother has in his room. This adorable pair makes a room larger than any John Jay lounge into a society6 dream.

The pair says they’re really close to all their suitemates, and there’s always someone to go to dinner with and see around. They describe Carman as friendly and outgoing. All in all, Makena leaves us with this word of wisdom, “You don’t have to be wild to live in Carman.”
