It wasn't actually that bad, inside. More like more of the same, really. the hallways were fairly narrow, and lined with doors, and the occasional bulletin board filled with the kind of flyers you could expect to see in a college dorm.

There were also a lot of Columbia University pennants on the walls. School spirit, or something.

And, of course, there were students milling about, on their way wherever. More than a couple heads turned to watch Hyacinthe as Xanthippe pulled him along past them. "Sorry in advance about my roommates."
