What former residents say:
"I really appreciate the amenities in Schapiro. Schapiro has several performance rooms and multiple study spaces, which are perfect for my needs. I’m involved in a campus club that often requires me to practice dances and prepare for various performances. Because of this, my friends and I can easily book a practice room and, since it’s located downstairs, we never have to worry about being late."
"The Sky Lounge is a great place to study in a relaxed atmosphere while taking in the breathtaking view of the Hudson River."
