The High School of American Studies at Lehman College, one of three highly selective schools opened on City University of New York campuses in 2002, has the intimacy of a small school and the resources of a large college. Housed in a brightly lit, one-story, metal-sided building with just two corridors, the high school is across the street from the grassy quadrangles of the main campus of Lehman College. All the students' lockers, painted light foam green, are lined up along one corridor so students have a chance to socialize with just about everyone in the school in between classes. Students go across the street to study in the Lehman College library, to eat in the college cafeteria, and to take their physical education classes in the vast college gymnasium, the Olympic-size swimming pool, or the racquetball courts. Juniors and seniors may take courses for college credit at the college.
