Resident Reviews

I love how there are a lot of activities that you can do, and you can have a lot of fun. I really do love my community. I love to go a lot of places, like I love to go to the library and read books. I also love to walk around downtown sightseeing.

I love the diversity and the ability to speak to other creatives like myself! I love being able to have the opportunities at Columbia I wouldn’t be able to have at another school.

I really like living here at the dwight. Compared to other student housing I was considering this is by far the best. My favorite part is the full kitchen because it saves me a lot of money on eating out or a dining plan.

I love how chill everyone is and open to creating a community in the dorms. I think having access to the sky lounge and graffiti room especially makes it fun and easy to get out of your room and talk to others.

All of my suite-mates are wonderful people. We love to watch shows together and sit in the living room to talk. We communicate very well and support each other. We also make each other laugh and it helps to have amazing people in my life to support me while we all go through this new big change of college.

What I love most about your community is the sense of connection and support that seems to thrive here. Whether it's how people show up for each other, share knowledge, or celebrate one another’s wins, there’s a real feeling of belonging. It’s clear that this is a place where individuals aren’t just part of a group—they matter to it. That kind of energy builds trust, inspires growth, and makes a lasting impact.

Everyone I’ve meet so far is welcoming and friendly. The room also had minimum issues.The halls are a decent temperature so it’s never too hot or cold. Dim lighting which is a nice break from the sunny city or bright classroom lights.
