John Jay is a first year residence hall. The building is located at the corner of 114th St and Amsterdam, with its entrance on the campus side.
Not to be pronounced Juan Jé or John Jizzle.
Residents of John Jay 5 (the lowest floor with residents) are legendary for their refusal to take the stairs, even though this only exacerbates the elevator problem.

Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages
- Residents live in the same building as John Jay Dining Hall and JJ's Place, so they don't have to go outside during the winter or inclement weather to use up their meal plan or get other food.
- Also in the same building as Health Services in case you fall sick.
- Hamilton Hall is merely a minute's walk away.
- Beautiful spacious lounge on first floor, with a piano where you can practice.
- Singles as a first-year, almost unheard of at most colleges.
- Connected to Wallach and Hartley, so you can use their computer lab and laundry room (when John Jay's is full) without going outside.
- Nice floor lounges.
- Beautiful campus views from rooms on the higher floors facing campus.
- Some of the rooms have nice views of St. John the Divine and the Empire State Building as well.
Disadvantages
- The 2 elevators are abysmally slow, if they're running.
- Somewhat run down, especially the bathrooms.
