<p>Which dorms are you guys picking for junior year?</p>
<p>Unless I get really lucky, I'll probably end up disappointed no matter where I end up next year. Oh well.</p>
<p>do Lafayette Street. i love my room. i'm in an -09 A room and it has a huge walk-in closet, high ceilings and a ton of room in the A bedroom. but the common room is small.</p>
<p>how long does it take to walk from Lafayette to Union Square (where the Palladium is)</p>
<p>About 30-40 minutes. But you can take the NYU bus to 715 Broadway and it's a 5-10 minute walk from there.</p>
<p>I'm in Carlyle this year and I really love the location. :)</p>
<p>my son is in Coral. I'm concerned about getting a low cost housing this year since as a rising junior he will have low priority.</p>
<p>simple way to bump up your priority is to room with the current freshmen next year...</p>
<p>u guys are luck I want Palladium, but I'll be just a freshie.</p>
<p>yeah I know about the priority averaging if you go in with someone with a better priority. too bad he didn't know anyone willing to commit to going for low cost housing. </p>
<p>I'm looking at paying btw 8700 and over 13K for housing next year. How's that for a price spread...</p>
<p>God help me if I end up at like Alumni because I have such a low priority. Price tag=$17.5k, ouch.</p>
<p>At least my last name is in the first four letters of the alphabet, which means I get to pick first among all the juniors.</p>
<p>But since I have junior standing, maybe they'll let me pick as a senior.</p>
<p>really, your last name has an impact in your time assignment within your priority???</p>
<p>I would have to withdraw my son from school if I had to pay 17K for a room, seriously</p>
<p>wrong. your priority is not your last name. it's just a random lottery pick. it's within your academic year (number of credits) and then within the random system. it is NOT your last name.</p>
<p>and if you're an incoming junior, your choices are lafayette and 26th street.</p>
<p>I don't know about you, but I've always had a high credit seniority (I have 80 or so credits as a soph+18 credits this semester) and my last name starts with a C. And I've always been one of the first in my class to pick anything, namely classes and housing.</p>
<p>Even when my number of credits=my graduating class ('11). Eww. Lafayette and 26th. Gross. Maybe I'll go live in the basement at Bobst.</p>
<p>too bad water street's gone. My brother stayed there spring semester his junior year and this year.</p>
