...eclipsed by the multi-purpose functionality of the House dining hall. A provider of food, a homework station, a meeting forum, a social space–it is a hub of activity at all hours of the day and night. The dining hall is a place in which somewhat stale bagels are the fare du jour, procrastination thrives, and papers eventually get written (though it might not often happen until the HUDS staff starts prepping breakfast).

That means brightly-painted walls, Matisse prints hanging around the place and a row of potted trees in the main hall. But no amount of magnolia yellow can cover the stale smoke in the air, or the hollow echo as voices bounce off concrete bricks, or the cold clunk of heavy keys in steel doors. "You only see us laughing and playing around, but this is an awful place," says Bronwen, 34, in on pickpocketing charges and playing Chicago's prosecutor and detective...
