We never got to go inside the dorms, but they seemed very nice. The setup of the dorms varied (John Jay-all singles to Carman-suites) and all seemed to have their own positive and negative aspects

Even though I didn't have the opportunity to go inside the dorms, the outside of the dorms were very nice.

Though my son did not get a chance to visit any dorm rooms, from the experience i have had in my daughters hall, it is always clean

The doubles seemed huge compared to what i'm used to. Senior year housing is amazing. where else can you get a two bedroom flat with river view in manhattan + food for 10grand a year. Best deal

Eh. We saw a room in JJ and it was all right. Certainly not un-livable.

Well... it's New York City isn't it? Overall they're fine, but the bathrooms could get very messy, especially the single dorm ones (John Jay) in which a whole floor of 40 shares one bat

The dormitory they showed us was a suite with two doubles and a shared bathroom. It was pretty small. Also, some of the dorms don't have AC.

Didn't get to see...I didn't see dorms at ANY of the Ivies. I guess they don't need to show you dorms to get you to apply!

I stayed in one of the new ones, single room, more of the rooms are singles which is nice, How many people can say they live by themselves on Broadway.

We didn't get to see them inside but the outsides and descriptions sounded cool.

The dorms we stayed in were nice. They were all singles which I guess could be good or bad, but there was just one bathroom per floor. Also, there was no air conditioning again.

I didn't get to see inside one, but the tour guide waxed enthusiastic about her "beautiful room."
