All First-Year students are housed on South Lawn, the heart of undergraduate life at Columbia. Proximity to Butler Library, Alfred Lerner Hall, John Jay Dining Hall and Columbia Health make these residence halls convenient and have a connection to the Columbia community.

Four different housing options are available to first years: Carman, Furnald, John Jay, and the all-class integrated Living Learning Center in Wallach and Hartley. Each hall has a unique set of features and benefits, from singles to corridor-style living. Review the residence hall links above to find out more about your options and help narrow down your preferences.

Once you've looked at all your options, complete your Columbia Housing First-Year Application, which indicates your preferences for a particular hall, a single or double room, and/or a single sex floor. You will receive your housing assignment via email before August 1st.
