The Center for Jewish Living is primarily a residence for upperclassmen (or non-freshmen). The reason for this, is that here at Cornell, the freshmen typically all dorm together on North Campus. We at the CJL feel that there are distinct advantages to living together with others going through the same things that you are going through, and therefore both encourage freshmen to live on North Campus while at the same time discouraging freshmen from living in the house.
That is not to say that the freshmen can’t be active in the house, nor does it mean that their social life is relegated to North Campus.
