<p>So right now I'm mainly leaning towards 3N because it's an apartment style. I love to eat so having a kitchen is just essential to me lol. But can anyone tell me their opinions/experiences/suggestions about living there or just an apt style in general? I sort of don't get it, is it just a big room with a kitchen or are there several rooms to it? I wish I could see more pictures. Thanks guys!</p>
<p>Our D is in a three-bedroom suite in Third North; six share the kitchen, common room and two bathrooms.</p>
<p>Is 3rd Ave north Coral Towers? I was assigned there for summer housing, and now I’m really curious as to what it’s like. I thought I was getting a single bedroom apartment-style dorm. Am I actually getting a single bedroom in a three-bedroom apartment? Are there appliances? Any info will do. Thanks</p>
<p>coral towers is 14th and 3rd avenue. </p>
<p>third avenue north is 10th and 3rd (i think?).</p>
<p>they are not the same. coral towers is upperclassmen.</p>
<p>Fridge and stove/oven, no small appliances.</p>
<p>3rd North fills the southeast block between E 11th and E 12th.</p>
<p>My D lives in Third North this year (as a freshman) and it’s nice. She is in a two bedroom apartment (one of the bedrooms is a single, and is occupied by an RA) and the other (my kid’s) is a double, which she shares with a kid from CAS. There is a small, but decent, living room with a couch, and a small kitchen, plus one bathroom. There is a dining hall in the basement and a nice courtyard where kids can get some air, plus an exercise room and some practice rooms with pianos, etc. If you want a microwave, you have to supply it. There is a fridge and an oven/stovetop. It’s quite comfortable and as nice as apartments I had when I was first starting out.</p>

<p>I lived in Third North and liked it a lot. It REALLY helps to have a free printing center downstairs. In our suite, we had 3 bedrooms, a living room, a small kitchen space, and two full bathrooms for six people. My room was “low-cost” and tiny, but the other two were a decent size. Some doubles are huge! But it’s the luck of the draw.
Just want to warn you that there will be a lot of smoking out in the courtyard, so if you plan on getting fresh air, well, it just will not be that fresh. I am not a smoker, so it bugged me.
If you’re a smoker, you’ll meet a lot of people that way.</p>
<p>ehh the smoking thing bugs me… but its not that much of a bummer I guess. thanks so much for the feedback! </p>
<p>I was interested in a low cost suit as well, but if I do that, do my roomate(s) have to be low cost as well? Also, are the beds twins? or are the bunk beds or something of that sort? And how much space is there to store stuff? I’m totally unsure of how much to bring with me. Is it just a small closet space for clothes and thats it?</p>
<p>@hey</p>
<p>yeah, if you want roommates, they ALL have to do low-cost. my roommate did the reverse, she opted out of low-cost because i didn’t want a low cost apartment.</p>
<p>heyitzerin -
As my roommate lived in the same room I did, she had also put down low cost. However, my suite mates had larger rooms and paid more.
My low-cost room was really, really tiny - the beds were bunked, and the rest of the space was taken up by two dressers and two desks. We had a closet, but it was not that big. I stored a lot of my clothes in the dresser.</p>
<p>Is it possible to request 5 other suitemates for the 6 person suite? Because I have a group of 6 girls that I want to be with.</p>
<p>I like 3rd. The apartment style definitely appeals to me. I’m still not sure though I want to know more about 12th street. It’s really hard to find good pictures of the residence halls.</p>
<p>Nate, I’ve had some luck Googling “NYU [residence hall name]”. Browsing the links that appear and the Google Image results has been pretty useful for locating pictures of dorms.</p>
<p>I’m trying to decide between Brittany and Third North at this point. I like the idea of having a larger dorm room (Brittany), but a kitchen would also be nice (Third North). I like cooking/baking and I’m certain I’d regret not having the ability to do that. But the photos of the Brittany dorms I was able to find are really tempting…</p>
<p>I was looking at some pics and I’m really beginning to like the idea of living at 3rd. I agree with you though Brittany does have the space factor down.</p>
<p>Just to let you guys know, Brittany doesn’t have A/C. So when you first move in at the end of August, you’ll probably be pretty hot for a couple weeks.</p>
<p>I’m hoping the lack of air conditioning won’t be too dreadful. From what pertinent information I’ve been able to find online, it seems that a good fan makes it very tolerable. I do have slight misgivings about it though; I don’t want to be stuck if it turns out to be truly unpleasant for me. In that event, I suppose you just have to take comfort in knowing that hundreds of Brittany residents are all sweating it out with you :D.</p>
<p>buy a portable a/c</p>
<p>[PORTABLE</a> AIR CONDITIONER - Google Product Search](<a href=“PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER - Google Shopping”>PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER - Google Shopping)</p>
<p>you’re not allowed to bring a portable AC. if housing sees it, they’ll try and confiscate it. (they go into the rooms to do random “fire hazard checks” sometimes.</p>

<p>it drains a ton of power, and you’ll probably blow a fuse.</p>
<p>it sucks, i know.</p>
<p>I know this is random but missamericanpie can freshmen dorm in University hall? I’ve just heard some conflicting info and I kind of like U hall and was wondering if it’s even an option.</p>
