<p>Can anyone give me an approximation of how far the "campus" is from the 200's of Lafayette street? Like how long of a walk and what is the closest dorm... Sorry if this is a ridiculous question (because none of the dorms are?), but I have no idea. Also, is that portion of the street mostly residential or shopping or restaraunts? </p>
<p>Any info would be appreciated.</p>
<p>it’ll be a good amount of shopping with residences on top of them, a 10-15 minute walk to the park, and the closest freshman dorm (i’m assuming that’s what you mean) would probably be Goddard, but Hayden and Weinstein just a few blockers further (in different directions)… hope that’s helpful</p>
<p>well, 80 Lafayette Street is the Lafayette dorm down there. it’s about a 20 minute brisk “Manhattan” walk from there to campus, and you’re near Little Italy and Chinatown.</p>
<p>200 Lafayette, according to google maps, is near Broome Street dorm. </p>

<p>On the map posted by missamericanpie, if you go due north you’ll see Washington Square Park, which is considered the center of “campus.” That’s a very short walk. It’s also a nice area. (Just a little southwest of the address on Lafayatte you’ll see l’Ecole, the restaurant of the French Culinary Institute – my favorite restaurant in NYC!) All the freshman dorms are close to campus, though.</p>
