<p>Lies, the freshmen dorms are barely even 10 minutes away from most of the academic buildings (excluding the apartment-style dorms, which are maybe 15), and even less for Weinstein & Goddard. That's nothing for a NYC walk.</p>
<p>Looking at the housing really makes me want to go to NYU.. hahah</p>
<p>Does anyone know if the rates price for each residence hall on the nyu website includes the meal or is that just the cost of the room, and food is separate?? Like for Hayden Hall it has 10,540?? Is that room and board?</p>
<p>on the nyu website, that is just the cost of the room. food is separate and additional, the price depends on what size meal plan you want to get.</p>
<p>Wow..isn't that really expensive...10,540 plus 3,500?? Aren't most schools around 6,000 for room and board??</p>
<p>This is NYC. And for NYC it is pretty cheap!</p>
<p>lmaty - couldn't agree more! If you go on craigslist or something and look for apartments in the area you will discover that a studio will cost $1,500 per month at least! Coming from San Francisco the prices are no shock at all - but imagine coming from a small town where you can rent a decent apartment for less than $1,000/month - these prices must seem insane!</p>
<p>Each dorm has its own personality. I lived in Rubin this year, and I think the people and community are amazing. I'm also in a LCT so I'm very happy with the cost (roughly 6000 a year I think). If I had to pick my dorm again though, I wouldn't pick Rubin. Probably Weinstein because of the location, dining hall (they have 3 eating locations inside the building), and College Learning Center (where you can get tutored). I've never seen Third North and Hayden rooms before so I can't comment. UHall doesn't seem to be worth the cost, and Britney doesn't have a dining hall.</p>
<p>Do you pay for A/C and heating? I mean separately. Like do they bill you for utilities and such?</p>
<p>haha no they're not that mean</p>
<p>Can someone explain why Rubin and Brittany are so much less expensive than Hayden, Goddard, and Weinstein (not including LCH)?</p>
<p>For one thing No air conditioning.
A good site to check it all out including pictures of rooms:</p>

<p>Speaking of A/C, you dont need it. You go to college during the winter. AT MOST it will be HOT for a few weeks in agust/early-late sept. and MAYBE the last week of school...so dont even let that be an issue. Btw, live in a traditional style dorm, trust me.</p>
<p>Nah. I remember when I first got here, AC was a lifesaver. It's already getting too hot, and I'm just waiting for them to turn the AC back on.</p>
<p>also more people/room in rubin and brittany
<3 hayden
and firewalker is right you do want ac</p>
<p>i toured goddard when i took the nyu tour and each room had its own bathroom...is that how it is in all the dorms or are some communal? Btw Goddard's rooms looked huge in comparison to what i've seen at other colleges. Do u know what some of the different exploration floors are?</p>
<p>the so-called 1.5 person bedroom they showed at goddard during the tour was ok sized....are the goddard rooms all that big?</p>
<p>the tour room in goddard is on the second floor, a floor in which all of the ceilings are considerably higher than the floors above. Other than that, square feet are about the same.</p>
<p>and the bathroom situation...all bathrooms like the one in the tour room at all the dorms?</p>
<p>yep, every room or suite gets their own bathroom.</p>
