With a fire station and hospital located nearby, if you regularly start uncontrollable fires in your kitchen and routinely need to be hospitalized, Guest Writer Nicholas Ward thinks this is the place for you.

For incoming freshmen who want homey suite style living where you can make close relationships with the people you live with, Hartley is the place for you!

You, too, could spend multiple hours staring out your massive window, watching the blue sky and busting quad, feeling the AC on your skin. This is peace.

The real AC was the friends you made along the way.

The oldest (and most quaint, as I like to call it) dorm on campus. Brooks is generally the least desirable but does have some redeeming qualities.

Did you know it used to be named Johnson Hall?

Blue walls! Blue walls!

On top of every other Ruggles amenity, you can enjoy a green room!

Are you a fitness fanatic? Need to get those steps in? Look no further than Carlton Arms! (Well, there’s not a farther option, anyway.)

Are you looking for an apartment-style dorm that’s close to campus and doesn’t give freshman vibes? Consider Watt!

EC without the annoying elevator? Yes please!

Yes, the EC life is as good as they say it is.

Brownstone living at 627 W 115th St.—perfect for anyone hoping for a quintessential New York City experience!

For upperclassmen who still want to be right on campus, Sulz Tower is a convenient choice for location and privacy.

Far from campus yet close to Central Park, the large, comfy suites in this building make it a typical top choice for Barnard upperclassmen.
