...River friends, he had also not managed to acquaint himself with anything north of Hemenway Gym. As we dined on the best steak sub north of Weld Boathouse (yes, even better than the Steak and Peppers at Noch’s) he inquisitively asked about life in Quad, given the changes announced since the beginning of the year. Was it really exile? What about that agonizing 12-minute walk to the Yard? In the middle of a question, he suddenly seemed struck by something he had not yet noticed. “Wow,” he observed...
...School harkens to images of Harvard Square in its pre-corporate atmosphere, presenting students with a number of eclectic shops, low-price eateries such as Boca Grande and Half-Shell, several small groceries and a Hollywood Express; all within a five- to- six-minute walk from the Quad.

While the picture of undergraduate housing along the Charles River (assuming it’s not closer to Western Avenue) would make for good photo-ops in the 2015 viewbook, the administration would do well to notice that rivers make poor catalysts for integration—they...
...their recommendations made into visible change. Until then, students should not be surprised to read about more bombshells, such as the recent Hilles and QRAC announcements, dropped without much notice or student input. If the administration cannot recreate an atmosphere as student-friendly as that currently enjoyed in the Quad, students should treat the administration’s claims that Allston could be a great windfall for the College with great skepticism...
