the bushwick "dorms" are old factory buildings that have been converted to living spaces. some are better than others, but they're typically large spaces where the occupants have put up room dividers or created rooms. when i had friends there, someone was always building or modifying their space. not sure if it's changed or not. some have 4 or 5 people living in them. parties are frequent. it's pretty social if you like that kind of thing.
