<p>What is the best and nicest Hall for freshman?
And what are the differences between them...</p>
<p>Hayden</p>
<p>Rubin (5th Avnenue...??)</p>
<p>U Hall</p>
<p>Goddard</p>
<p>Brittany</p>
<p>???</p>
<p>Dude, you haven't even been admitted yet. See if you're admitted before freaking out about picking a residence hall. :D</p>
<p>In short, I think all freshman dorms are about equally nice - it's just that some have some things that others don't. It's basically about picking what you want and what you can live with.</p>
<p>I may be biased, but I love Goddard. It's the best location-wise (you literally roll out of bed 5 min before class and still make it on time).
Hayden is pretty close, but apparently lots of pot-smokers...
Rubin...low cost triples, but no air conditioning and a lot of people
Brittany is similar to Rubin, no air conditioning
3rd North...15 min walk, aptment style
UHall...similar to 3rd North, both in Union Square, so good location</p>
<p>Go Go Goddard! Because it's right above Starbucks.</p>
<p>how can you say "lots of pot-smokers"</p>
<p>something like air conditioning and location can be passed on to the next group of freshman, but how can a dorm be classified as "the pot dorm", maybe it is now, but not necessarily in the future</p>
<p>that's interesting you say that, because it happens to be that way...you walk outside of hayden or weinstein, there are usually people smoking outside...</p>
<p>There is definitely more people smoking in front of Weinstein than Hayden... but isn't that better than smoking IN the dorms?</p>
<p>why isn't weinstein on your list? i lived there, and i feel nostolgia everytime i pass by. it's a very social dorm, with 2 dining halls inside the building (3 if you count the kosher caf.), and the college learning center downstairs too, where you can get free tutoring in almost any subject. i had some friends in hayden too, and they loved it because of the big rooms. i used to hang out in rubin a lot as well. there, you have a REALLy nice lounge area, with a huge tv, and lots of space. goddard is cool because of the explorations floors. i really don't think you can go wrong if you pick a washington square park dorm. i wouldn't pick uhall because you'll be in union sqare, a bit of a walk from campus and the rest of the freshman community</p>
