<p>Can anyone suggest a dorm for a Tisch dance major?</p>
<p>there really is no recommendation based on your school, at least for your freshman year. i know some people depending on where their studio is are living elsewhere next year as a sophomore but as a freshman it doesn’t really matter much. i know one of my tischie friends has her classes mainly in the tsoa building or elsewhere nearby, nothing far.</p>
<p>I actually spoke to an admissions officer and for Tisch kids we get our housing, studio and other forms mailed out before or on April 1st.</p>
<p>I would definitely not recommend 3N. It is not worth a penny of the money you pay for housing. Founders, Goddard are better choices.</p>
<p>Third North: Not very spacious, somewhat cramped, kitchen can look a little dingy, but otherwise not too bad.</p>
<p>Founders: Rooms are very large, very clean; there’s almost a sanitised feel about it. The room lights are really white.</p>
<p>Brittany: Run-down and dingy, lights are a yellowish-orange tinge, carpets have mysterious stains, but it’s run-downness almost makes it homey. Parties? Not so much.</p>
<p>Rubin: Like Brittany, but rooms are even more cramped since most of them are low-cost. Parties are possible, since the RA’s room is in a little corner all the way at the end of the hallway.</p>
<p>Weinstein: The cinderblock thing doesn’t bother me at all. In fact I like the clean, all-white look of it. Better than having walls with poorly covered patches and scribbles. Nothing posters or artwork can’t fix.</p>
<p>How can some people say things like “its more difficult to make friends at (insert dorm name)”…doesn’t it really depend on the people that happen to end up living there? I mean i hear everyone say “if you live in 3N its hard to make friends” or “if you live in (insert name) everyone will be really social”…but it just doesnt really make sense in my mind. </p>
<p>Also, are Goddard, Weinstein, Brittany, Rubin, Founders, Hayden and 3N all the freshman dorms or are there more?</p>
<p>UHall on union square has some floors that were freshmen this year, because they ran out of room in the traditional freshman dorms.</p>
<p>Well, obviously it depends! My floor at 3N isn’t at all social but I have friends in every other dorm; my suitemates on the other hand are best friends with almost exclusively 3N people. And there are plenty of social 3N floors (though my floor only has like 4 suites on it anyway). It really depends though, like goddard is the rescollege dorm and I felt they were a lot more connected to their floor and all and they have a lot of events going on but there are people who don’t want to be part of that either.</p>
<p>Anyway since I last posed I’ve been in Founders and it’s really nice. Rooms are clean and spacious.</p>
<p>Hi I was just wondering I got in early decision and I have two questions.
- When do housing applications come out for early decision?
- Which dorm is the cheapest and which of the cheaper dorms is the best/which dorm is the best value?</p>
<p>I can only answer one of your questions. Rubin Low cost triple I think is a very good deal. It is the cheapest option and the location is beautiful and very upscale. it has a dining hall. The only downside is there is no AC. But you cannot beat the cost. Hayden also has Low cost triple, but it cost more money. The upside is that it is very close to classes, on Washington Square, right in the busy west village and the social life is good. I think the housing ap will come in June, once the May 1 RSVP’s are in. Don’t quote me on that.</p>
<p>can anyone tell me more about goddard?
what exactly is a residential college like? i read on the nyu website about all the intellectual streams that goddard has but i’m not sure i really understand what the dorm is like. like how would the day to day life be different if i chose goddard over some other dorm? i heard it has a more community feel which is what i want. also you have to apply for goddard right?</p>
<p>Bump this to see if anyone can respond to haribobear’s ^^^
questions re: Goddard.</p>
<p>hey yeah i got in and i was wondering the same thing. which one is cheapest and best quality? (good for its price?) also i was wondering if gonnard has good parties. i like the whole idea of knowing all the hall mates and hanging out in the halls. sounds like fun. does that happen? also how big are the rooms and which ones is best? double or suite or triple? and does price change for it? sorry about the questions but i had a friend go and she didnt like it because it was hard to meet people but it seems like gonnard has that social vibe. THANKS! :)</p>
<p>hey sorry bout asking again but how is the roommate choice? do they match people well? do they have surveys and are they good about switching? thanks</p>
<p>Godddard is the residential college, you have to apply and do some essays or whatever to get in. They do not have any low cost triples. It is right in the midst of the “campus”.
If you want cheap, and a very good value, go with Rubin, LCT. it is the CHEAPEST. Pro: Extremely excellent area, 5th avenue address, right below Washington Square, you can see the arch. has a dining hall. Nice building. Con: no AC, but it is doable.</p>
<p>@ikiro0, </p>
<p>There is a Housing questionaire with a few random questions, not at all the kind of questions to really match you up, however, I recall in the recent past that you can find a roomate on the NYU Facebook group. I know several people did this in past. maybe some of the other students that currently go there can advise you better than me.</p>
<p>So I keep hearing the low cost rubin triples are the best value and are the cheapest. But how much cheaper are they then the other dorms like Founders or just a normal dorm in rubin?</p>
<p>My daughter did a LCT in Rubin last year. The savings is about 2.5k/yr for no a/c and another 2.5k/yr for LCT. For instance, Hayden has a/c, so if you get a LCT, you save 2.5k off a normal a/c double room. Brittany has no a/c, so if you get a normal double, you save 2.5k. At Rubin, there’s no a/c AND there are lots of LCTs. So you save 5k for the yr over most other housing.
There seemed to be quite a few NYC kids in Rubin, at least the ones D knew, as those who lived within commuting distance didn’t want to spend lots if they were only there part of the time. (upper east side kids excepted)</p>
<p>How do you apply to Goddard? How do you apply to the Explorations floors in other dorms? Is it all on the housing app, because I can’t seem to find it…?</p>
<p>Also, say Founders is your first-choice dorm but Goddard is your second choice. Is that, like, possible? What I mean is, since Goddard isn’t on the list of dorms that you rank in order of preference, can it be your second choice, or can you only get in if it is your first choice and you apply for it?</p>
<p>There is a separate application for the Residential College at Goddard, which you’ll have access to in May. It’s due around June 1st. More info will be sent out when the application is put up.</p>
<p>You would say Founders is your first choice, but if you get into Goddard by applying to the Res College you go into Goddard instead.</p>
<p>Hi, i’m an ED acceptance and currently choosing my dorm.
I’m wondering, if i applyed to Goddard and got rejected, will i be assigned another dorm according to my preference order? Or i’ll be assigned randomly?</p>
