What residents say

“I don’t think I would have done nearly as well anywhere else than I am at Jones. Jones has been such a formative place for me.”

Pratap Jayaram, McCormick freshman

“It’s a community that absolutely fosters creativity and friendship, and because of the size of it, you get to know a very large amount of people pretty closely.”

Dan Stompor, Communication freshman

“The rooms aren’t that bad. They’re small but you don’t spend a lot of time in them, you spend time in the suites with the people you like hanging out with.”

Zoë Call, Communication freshman

“More practice rooms, I’m pretty sure, than any other place on campus.”

Aaron Gordon, Weinberg freshman
