Hello, everyone! Yesterday I had the awesome privilege of being accepted to Columbia University, though I do have some questions about living at Columbia if there are any current students/graduates/prospective students in the know.

How much does housing cost? I’ve scoured the housing site, but I can’t find anything as to how much different options are. Does it cost more or less to live in singles or suites, and how do room rates compare between the four first-year halls?

Also, how much weight does the housing application hold? If I select a preference for a single room in John Jay, how much weight will that application have and how likely is it to be disregarded?

Thanks in advance for any information! If any helpful website links exist, they are appreciated. I apologize if this is a repeat post, but I haven’t found any answers so far.
