Gravity in a lunar base

Imagine a big Moon base situated under a dome. Big means under the dome there is a small city with buildings, streets and ca. 30,000 inhabitants. The best analogue in the movies would be the Ceres colony in "The Expanse".

Now the gravity of the Moon is ca. 1/6 of that of the Earth. How would a human feel in such an environment? I am particularly interested in how would he handle elevation, i.e. would he be able to jump 6 times higher than on Earth, i.e. directly into the window on the first floor? Or the reverse: if he falls out of the window at let's say 12 meters, would this fall be equal to that of 2 meters on Earth (in terms of impact felt by the person falling)?

Or am I understanding the implications of gravity in the wrong way? Will the sealed dome somehow influence the gravity?
