What former residents say:
“Schapiro is equipped with excellent amenities – carpet flooring in the hallways, 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.”
