Walking through the hallowed halls of this fine institution, one is bound to hear the usual laundry list of complaints against Yeshiva University: there is a lack of school spirit, there is nothing to do on campus, cafeteria prices are simply exorbitan t. But the most troubling and untruthful complaint is that the immediate neighborhood contains few recreational spots for students to "get away from it all." Indeed, the argument goes, if one wants to enjoy "city life," then the only way to do so is by ho pping on a subway and going to midtown.
