Dorm for 2 years
Former Tenant
Pros:
I always loved living in Kaufman. One of the better dorm rooms that FIT offers. I would recommend living above the 10th floor if possible. View is amazing if you live on the higher floors. Clean for most part and laundry always working.
Cons:
Neighbors, people being loud in hall. Each room is different sized. If you have a problem with your roommate, they will do nothing about it.

Kaufman Hall: FIT Dorms
Former Tenant
Pros:
School housing, so it was furnished. Large rooms with great light and high ceilings. Water pressure is great, two trash chutes on either end of the hall, most neighbors are respectful and quiet.
Cons:
Cost did not equal the quality of residence. Security was frustrating at times, and due to COVID FIT did not allow visitors.
Advice to owner:
Let non-dorming FIT students into the dorms!

Good residence hall
Former Tenant
Pros:
Many Laundry machines in basement, 24/7 security that are pretty responsive, corner rooms on floors 9-15 have amazing views
Cons:
Walls are thin so you hear their music, some rooms are very small
Advice to owner:
some rooms should be single and not double due to size
