Review your dorm room / Win $25 gift certificate

Wondering where you want to live next year? Have opinions about where you're living right now?

Check out the online Room Reviews, which is kind of like CULPA for Barnard dorm rooms.

Students are encouraged to submit a review, photo, or video of their room, even if they are not participating in Room Selection. Students may also review rooms they previously lived in.

On April 5, Residential Life & Housing will randomly select two reviews written this year and the writers will each receive a $25 Amazon gift certificate.

Residence Hall Room Tours (Sunday, March 7)

As we gear up for Room Selection in April, are you wondering what the different residence halls are like? Take a tour this Sunday, March 7!

Please have your Barnard ID to show to the front desk staff of each building and wait in the lobby for a tour guide. Since we depend on students to volunteer their room/suite for the tours, not all room types/configurations are able to be shown.

SCHEDULE:
12 - 1pm:  Cathedral Gardens
1 - 2pm:  601 West 110th Street
2 - 3pm:  600, 616 & 620 West 116th Street
3 - 4pm:  Elliott Hall
4 - 5pm:  Hewitt & Sulzberger Tower
5 - 6pm:  Plimpton Hall

Floor plans for each residence hall are available at http://roomselection.barnardreslife.org/available/.

Another great resource is the Room Reviews on the Room Selection website (http://roomselection.barnardreslife.org/reviews/). Please also note that Residential Life & Housing will be awarding Amazon gift certificates to four randomly chosen Room Reviews submitted by April 5.

Do you have questions about the Room Selection process? Check out http://roomselection.barnardreslife.org or come to an Information Session (see http://roomselection.barnardreslife.org/calendar/ for dates).

Review your dorm room / Win a $25 Amazon gift certificate

Thanks to feedback from last year's Room Selection survey, Residential Life & Housing has created a Room Review website (i.e. a CULPA for dorm rooms). Hopefully, these reviews will help students to make educated decisions while preparing for Room Selection.

Students are encouraged to submit a review, photo, or video of their room at http://roomselection.barnardreslife.org/ (even if they are not participating in Room Selection). Students may also review rooms they previously lived in.

On April 5, Residential Life & Housing will randomly select 4 reviews and the writers will each receive a $25 Amazon gift certificate.

Information about Room Selection will be available later this month. Dates for Info Sessions, Registration, Selection Days, etc, are available at http://roomselection.barnardreslife.org/calendar/.
