<p>I was just wondering if anyone could tell me which dorms are the nicer ones. I'm a transfer student. The one im going to choose btwn are greenwich hotel, Lafayette, and 2nd street. Thanks.</p>
<p>the 2nd street dorm i’ve been to was extremely small.</p>
<p>lafayette is spacious and is in Chinatown (good, cheap food!!).</p>
<p>greenwich hotel is in a nice area… West Village. and i heard that there’s maid service there. BUT it’s really far from all other dorms. i’ve never seen the rooms though.</p>
<p>Second Street indeed has very small rooms. It is cheaper than other dorms as a result, but I honestly don’t think it’s worth it to have to have a bunk bed. It’s located a few avenue blocks east of the campus, and the walk is do-able. It’s also on the edge of where all the East Village trendiness starts. As a result, it can get VERY loud.</p>
<p>Lafayette has very large rooms, and many rooms are suites. It’s located near Chinatown and Canal Street, which can be extremely insane during the day. The walk is a lengthy one, but you can catch an NYU bus.</p>
<p>Greenwich Hotel is indeed in the West Village, but it’s in a rather dead area, closer to the Piers than the trendy hotspots. The rooms are a decent size though not as large as Lafayette’s. It is also located farther away, but an NYU bus goes right by there.</p>
<p>Honestly, if I were you, I would choose Greenwich Hotel for the relative quiet alone. If you don’t mind having to potentially wade through throngs of tourists, though, definitely choose Lafayette.</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice. i think i’m going to Lafayette cause I want the big spacious room and I dont mind the touristy area.</p>
