[edit] Advantages

• Easy access to the northern Amsterdam Avenue restaurant row, including Max Caffe, Cafe Fresh, as well as (relatively) cheap Appletree Market and its DVD rental selection
• Easy access to Pupin and Schermerhorn buildings through the Amsterdam and 120th Street entrances; also proximity to the Teachers' College and School of Social Work libraries.

[edit] Disadvantages

• Although campus is right across the intersection, it's a long walk to a gate that's open after 5pm. Getting special swipe access might be key.
