hey thanks for that farthistory!
i spent 7 years at a notoriously ugly campus so an 'ok' campus would be moving up in the world
did the campus have a good/ok student-life feel to it?
i did also consider the live-in-brooklyn option, but 1.5hrs seems like quite a long commute. do you know if the lirr runs frequently? or how late in the evening?
i'd still love to hear what people think about the place generally though...
