Student Life is Good

We remember when colleges trying to attract students would hire professors you'd want to spend the night with. Now they're focusing on dorms you want to spend the night in. And according to Goulston & Storrs Matthew Kiefer, some in the area go further, making dorms a very comfortable way of life.
Matthew is working with Berklee College of Music to win city approvals for a new 155k SF student residence with 350 bedsdesigned by William Rawn Associates.
