<p>Many of the buildilngs are declared historic landmarks by NYC, therefore any restoration takes much longer then usual and is very expensive. Specific codes have to be followed in accordance with their designation as landmark buildings. My D’s dorm is pretty decent as far as dorms go. Special lighting that resembles natural light in each room, drafting tables for each student, and studios in her dorm for pulling those all nighters, especially now during final crits. There is guaranteed housing for all four years. After freshman year students have the option of going into student apartments directly across the street. The cafeteria is not that big and this is in part due to the fact that after first year many students are in these student apartments and tend to eat there. Also being in an urban environment there are many many places to eat right in the neighborhood.</p>
