living in the library

In 2004, New York University’s student run paper, The Washington Square News, released an article about an NYU student named Steve Stanzak, better known around campus as the Bobst Boy. His living arrangement made him different than the other students, for a very special reason. Stanzak could not afford living on campus or the lavish apartment life of New York City—giving him the idea to live in the Bobst Library.
