What Students Say

“Schapiro is equipped with excellent amenities -- carpet flooring, a common lounge, a kitchen, adequate bathrooms, music rooms, and of course the sky lounge! [Schapiro] had a lovely off-campus feel for me, which was a good break from the intensities of on-campus first-year living.”

“Schapiro is perfect for this year, my junior year, because it can be quiet. When I need to focus on work, it is no great task [because] there are few distractions. It is also very close to campus and practically on Broadway, which allows for easy access to both Lerner Hall and all the restaurants on Broadway.”
