". . . most importantly, the vitality that responsible, hard-working students bring." Right, because college kids always make great neighbors.

They've been talking about this ever since I was there which was nearly 15yrs ago and nothing ever became of all this talk. I'll believe it when I see it.

Mm yeah in general CUNY is not very accommodating for out-of-state applicants. I don't think it's really part of their mission, like, at all. These dorms are a positive step, though.

It sounds like the same BS that Hunter says about the Brookdale dorms. They are supposed to choose people who are out-of-state or international just like Brooklyn College is claiming, but the weird thing is that I know 6 people over at the Brookdale dorms (which is really small) and they are all from Long Island. I also have friends who are out-of-state and a few International friends who applied for a room and didn't get selected. Hmmm...
