There is a problem with noise at St. John's University in Queens. Until recently the students were commuters or lived in the community because they didn't have dorms on campus. They built dorms a couple of years ago, and now the residents are complaining about diminished quality of life issues. They tried to prevent the dorms from being built, but they failed. The dorms were built, thousands of students walk through their community, and on the weekends it is chaos. It's not just the noise. Drunk students stumble around and puke on their lawns practically every weekend. I feel really bad for the residents. They could not predict this when they bought their beautiful houses and moved in.
