To give you a better idea as to what living in Hecht offers students, I've posted one of the weekly emails sent to those who live in the two Hecht towers (McDonald and- the best- Pentland)

*AF's (or Academic Fellows) are sophomores who live on some of the freshmen floors. They are there to help you with any questions you may have concerning your classes, schedule, and the stresses that go along with being a college student. They often work with RA's or other AF's to put on special programs.

Last week, Sebastian the Ibis celebrated his Bar Mitzvah at 11 Leprechauns in the Grove (a bit of an odd place to hold a bar mitzvah now that I think about it...). All students were invited to enjoy a night of great music and food. Tickets were $5 presale and $7 at the door, with all of the proceeds going to an event for Cystic Fibrosis.
The Rat also held another Belly Bust- this time with comedian Jay Phillips (Def Jam Comedy, Semi Pro, Baby Mama, Kath & Kim). He put on a great show for the packed restaurant and held a meet and greet afterwards.
The next Belly Bust is the continuation of the student stand up comedy contest; whoever wins will open for the Rat's next guest- Bo Burnham! I can't lie- I will be staking out a spot in the front row for days on end with signs proclaiming my love for him. Just saying.
