<p>Uh, what dorm would result in an estimated cost of $7482.50 per semester? Seems a bit high, I don't really see any dorm rates that are that much.</p>
<p>epiper, if you're a freashman I would assume U-Hall or 3rd North? did you request either and are you ED? We might be able to find a pattern. MT Girlsmmom, can you help epiper out some and post U-Halls semester fee according to the burser bill</p>
<p>Nah, actually I'm a transfer. We get stuck in either Lafayette, Water Street, Greenwich Hotel, 26th Street, or University Court. </p>
<p>These are NYU dorm rates: NYU</a> > Department of Housing</p>
<p>They don't seem to add up. My bill is too cheap for a single, and way too expensive for a normal apartment dorm. Not sure what's going on.</p>
<p>Yup, just got into Hayden, final cost on bill is $5745, from the looks of the thread it should be a double (but doesn't say so). I know Hayden has low-cost triples (doubles with three kids) and one bath, regular doubles (two kids one bath) some quads (two rooms, two to a room, one bath, and then I read in past posts of some configurations that were two rooms three in one, two in another and still one bath...</p>
<p>Here's the question, if your paying for a double, but it's connected to a triple, and there's five in one bath instead of two...do you pay the same as a regular double? Maybe the rooms or bathrooms are bigger?</p>
<p>I'm a RD. My bursar acc't now says$6,845 Third North - my 1st choice.</p>
<p>Salem, all people in the 5 person suites pay the same as people in a regular double. For the people in the double, it's actually substantially smaller (in my opinion) than the regular doubles (there's less closet space, less space in general). And the bathrooms for five people are just as big as the bathrooms for two people. The only good thing about them is that they have a fabulous view of Washington Square Park. I would go in my friend's room in winter just to see the snow falling on the trees and drink cocoa mmmmm...but ya. Everything about NYU dorms, both for upperclassmen and freshmen, have a positive and negative, as you'll soon find out. There's no one "perfect" NYU dorm...there's just the ones whose positives outweigh the perceived negatives.</p>
<p>Makes the Low cost triple people happy I bet when they see other kids paying more money with less space and 2 more people on a bathroom. Really, at that point you're better off with a communal bath that's professionally cleaned with an open stall or shower when you want it...yech...keep the view. Do the rooms that are ajoined have separate numbers? In other words are you assigned one of the two rooms, or can you play with the spaces?</p>
<p>I just found out I got into UHall!</p>
<p>NOCCA, what's the chance that if a kid's bill right now names a dorm (my D's says "Third North") that she will really be in that dorm? Kids on facebook are saying that they called NYU and were told that that is just a "maybe" and that they won't know until August 1.</p>
<p>Salem, the suites are divided into two rooms, A and B. You're officially assigned to one, though you might be able to switch into the other one with permission...but you're not supposed to do that yourself. I can't remember if it's the A or the B room that's the double in a five person suite. But there's only one of those on each floor (if I remember correctly)...the 11 rooms I know are definitely 5 person suites and the rest of the suites on each floor (12, 19, 20, 21 rooms) are 4-person, which are a little better, IMO. All the 12 rooms have a cute passageway to put up stuff and the A and B rooms are separated, but in the 19, 20, and 21 rooms the B kids have to walk through the A room to get to their room. It gets real like that haha. But those rooms aren't too bad...they each have their perks too (and of course, their negatives, as always).</p>
<p>Hey NMR! Um I'm really not sure about that. I just know that nothing is guaranteed, like they said, until August 1st, though last year I was guaranteed Hayden because I applied through the French Explorations floor. But from experiences of NYU Housing (a bunch of freshmen had to be placed in upperclassmen dorms last year because the freshmen dorms were full), I wouldn't count on that housing assignment changing. Unless your D gets really lucky haha. She probs wanted U-Hall, right?</p>
<p>NOCCA you da man (or girl) in the know. Lurk around cause when we get our specific rooms we'll want to know the layouts and there's NOTHING on the net with simple floor plans.</p>
<p>I was in one of those quad (double doubles) for orienatation, room was small with one teeny closet and they're not SUITES cause you have to walk through one room to get to the other...(don't care what you call them)</p>
<p>Any security issues arise with 4 or 5 people with open access to the same space...any tales o horror?</p>
<p>She was RD and she and an ED girl both requested UHall as their first choice and Third North as their second. My guess is that her prospective roomie did not put her housing forms in as early as did most of the ED kids we know (all are CAP21-ers and all wanted UHall) and so they got their second choice. My guess is that my D probably wouldn't have found out her assignment yet, except she was linked with the ED girl, and that's how they ended up at Third. They are actually pretty excited about Third North, as it is still close (relatively speaking) to CAP21. Where will you live next year? I hear Carlyle Court is close to CAP.</p>
<p>I got 3rd north even though I put it as my last choice, but then again I remember redoing the forms like 3 or 4 times. Yay, snowball fight in the courtyard in the winter!</p>
<p>A lot of CAP kids and Tisch Drama kids in general room at Third North, so your D and her friend won't be alone. Both apartment style dorms are quite popular with drama freshmen because they're closer to a lot of the studios than the Washington Square dorms. Even though I'm partial to U-Hall (not because I roomed there, I roomed at Hayden freshman year...and I'm still here for the summer haha), they're still going to have a great time at Third North, all different types dorm there, as you can imagine (it's the largest freshman dorm in the United States).</p>
<p>I'm one of the (lucky) few living in a single at Palladium next year, in the International House (yes, I am indeed doing Res Ed once again). It's the second closest dorm to CAP and roughly equidistant between CAP 21 classes and my liberal arts classes at the Silver Center in Washington Square. Palladium is still closer to CAP though, but still only 10-15 minutes away from Wash Sq.</p>
<p>I assume you can get a LCT without even applying for one? I ended up getting one at Rubin; although it's cheaper, I wouldn't have minded a double ;)</p>
<p>hmmm... i'm a RD, non-exporations. i just checked my bursar account and it says weinstein and 3rd north together, with no further info. what is this?</p>
<p>Also curious if there is any chance that the housing notation on the bursar bill will change. I really hope so. My son, CAS RD, didn't even put Third North on his housing app; after touring it top to bottom with a current student who lived there last year, my son looked at me and said he didn't think he'd want to live there - other slightly smaller dorms were more appealing. We were also told that the 'assignment' on the bill is just there as a place-holder ("the bursar needed to put something there"...what?) and if it does turn out to be his assigned room, he can wait through the housing freeze after move-in and request a re-assignment. Right, after everything is moved in, getting to know roomie as well as classes, etc....like that will happen. I'm pretty disappointed in the late date of getting any info or correct info - every person you talk to says something different. We were more than a little surprised that he couldn't get at least one of the four he requested - and why don't they have a place to put where you DON"T want to live - your living situation, esp. first year, can bring a lot to bear on how your overall experience is. He's the only one of his friends who doesn't have a room or roommate yet - all other schools seem to have taken care of this in early July. Oh, and he has to do orientation session F because he was out of the country on a grad trip, so he'll probably be screwed with course selection too as many sections are already closed. Stay tuned... I guess as a parent you can tell I'm more tweaked about it than he is.</p>
<p>Redstorm, my D also got a LCT at rubin and didn't request it. She called housing and they said there wasn't anything to do about it now. She got into the explorations there. So not sure what can be done.</p>
<p>parents... please calm down.</p>
<p>to remark: the housing gave students the option to list their #1-#6 dorm, so unless your son only filled out the 4 dorms he was interested in, he might've got the "other" dorm that wasn't 3N.
secondly, all nyu dorms are actually what i'd call really great or spectacular in comparison to the majority of other schools. even harvard which was on princeton r.'s dorms like palace list, I've visited one of their freshmen dorm and their rooms aren't nearly as spacious.
thirdly, I've been told by others that 3N is more of the study dorm vs. hayden which is more rambunctious
last but not least... the people students live with will have a much greater impact on them than the place itself</p>
<p>JH,
I appreciate your comments. One concern is financial: in looking at the housing website, Third North is also more expensive than the others he requested. Don't recall six options for ranking requests, but my memory could be faulty at this point - he did only pick four. It just seems to me, in reading other posts/topics as well that the housing set up is not very transparent, such as how they do not date stamp requests as they come in, and just throw everything into a big pile. Most other schools, including our older S's university, go in order received for stuff like this ~ what's the point of playing by the deadline rules and getting deposits in early if it really doesn't matter? I agree that the people in your college life have a great impact on your experience, but if your physical living situation isn't great because it really isn't where you had expected/hoped to be (couldn't get one out of four??), like I said, it can make a difference. Additionally, if certain dorms were already closed due to earlier ED requests, why even allow RD students to include them in the request? Seems there could be a better way - that's all I'm saying. There are several other things that NYU does in a way that I am not aware of other schools doing and so this housing thing is something that is bugging me. And I know they are dealing with thousands and thousands of incoming freshman...but frankly the only one I care about right now is my guy!</p>
