Dardick and Nemerov have a strong residential community, with plenty of traditions and bonding events. This sense of camaraderie is bolstered by the fact that all first-year Beyond Boundaries students live in Dardick, and many second-years in Nemerov. With the ability to cut across the parking lot, Dardick and Nemerov are highly convenient, as they are close to campus, right above Habif, which is a circulator stop, and the closest to the metro stop. Further, there is a really nice piano in the Dardick lobby, and residents often grace the building with impressive tunes.
