The New School<br />
by Merissa Rittmaster<br />
For a summer Ulpan-OYPer the move to Boyar was something to look forward to.<br />
The new <strong>Rothberg</strong> Overseas Building was a major improvement from the un-air conditioned<br />
Goldsmith and Humanities classrooms. For those of us who enjoyed the perfectly<br />
heated and wonderfully sticky ovens they tried to pass off for classrooms, it was a relief.<br />
The Boyar building is brand new close to the regular university, and has all the modern<br />
conveniences such as air conditioning and two elevators. To make our adjustment to<br />
living here easier, they put in two rooms full of computers and no printer (they did get<br />
one 2nd semester) so that we would be able to e-mail our friends and family back home.<br />
In case of emergency, there are over 20 computers from the dark ages in the bomb<br />
shelter. Sometimes they all work at the same time. There is even an eating area on the<br />
2nd floor in which to hang out or study in between classes. Now that we have a printer<br />
that works most of the time, and all of the offices for the Overseas School are in one<br />
place, it's a pleasant learning environment with a small library, working toilets, and no<br />
need for portable fans in the classrooms.
