<p>I am extremely ****ed off. I applied for choices housing (there is choices for freshman in Rubin and Third North) and I can't be in Third north because of costs. I requested Rbin. What do you know? I was put in Third North! GO figure....NOW WHAT? I need to be switched!</p>
<p>How do you know you are in Third North? It says on the current activity?</p>
<p>Yessssssssssss THIRD AVENUE NORTH- $5700.00</p>
<p>This is strange. $5399 seems like too much for a traditional style, but its clearly not apartment style as lycrem627 has a $5700 bill for third north. Did they raise the price?</p>
<p>Oh, and lycrem627..i would call the housing department. They'll be swamped with change requests in the fall, so the earlier you call, the better chance you'd have at switching. I think they're close these couple of days for the holiday though. I'd try calling asap after july 4th.</p>
<p>Thanks, I already sent an email. I told them that I'd rather be in Rubin's choices, but if it was full, and it came down to it - I'd give up Choices altogether to be in Rubin....Any speculation on what might happen based on previous experience?</p>
<p>Well, I requested 3rd North- and I was early decision. My housing bill is $5399 and it doesn't say which I am in. It doesn't make any sense. I'm confused as to why some people's activity says the exact housing assignment, and others do not have specific info. </p>
<p>Here's a thought: Maybe they haven't finished entering everyone's specifics into the computer- Does anyone have $5399 listed with a specific housing assignment? If not, maybe they are putting $5399 as a median until they enter everyone's specific amount (being that $5399 doesn't fit anywhere in the chart).</p>
<p>lycrem were you explorations?</p>
<p>choices.there are two choices dorm floors - 3rd north and rubin...I requested rubin but of course, murphys law, got 3rd north.</p>
<p>Whats the exploration email, i want to know if i got in</p>
<p>just go to albert and bursar and then account summary or whatever....its somewhere over there. man they do suck.</p>
<p>I think the only people who got assignments are Explorations and Choices.</p>
<p>So it seems...also, for those of us who aren't Explorations or Choices, $5399 is oddly enough the average of $5097 and $5700...</p>
<p>Therefore, it is likely (as some people have previously pointed out) that everyone who has a housing "estimate" has $5399 listed as their housing fee. I guess once they specify, the figures will be exact. </p>
<p>By the way, it's quite comforting to know that the NYU student body (on this site, at least) is as obsessive/compulsive about things as I am....I love it! Seems we've all found our niche.... :-D</p>
<p>lycrem 627: regarding residence hall preferences, the choices application says "You will only be considered for the areas you include in the ranking. If there is an area in which you would not consider residing, leave that area blank." Did you just select Rubin and leave 3rd North blank when you indicated your preference?</p>
<p>hmmm. yeah. cost is a big factor for me so I went for Rubin (a triple too). Mine says $5399, which is kinda stupid. But I wouldn't worry about it too much right now...they'll probably change it later.</p>
<p>but if they don't, I'll be pretty ****ed off.</p>
<p>Actually I remember doing that, funny you should ask. I selected Rubin and left Third North blank.</p>
<p>For those of you who have $5399, do not worry, I just logged on and under current activity it says: </p>
<p>Housing - Estimated Charge $ 5,399.00 </p>
<p>So yes, that figure is merely an estimate and no indication of a specific dorm.</p>
<p>NYUBound....hi, I'm just a parent of a kid entering NYU in the fall but she is away for a few weeks with no internet access and so I was reading this thread (I'm telling ya, if I did not read CC, we would not have known about class registration and now this either!) and so I just checked on her account and it also says estimated housing $5399 and no specific dorm and my feeling is from reading these posts as well as the term "estimated housing" that this implies an estimate that was figured for when you had to give deposits and all and is not based on which dorm you will get. </p>
<p>Like you, my daughter requested Third North (hope ya both get it!). While she was not an ED kid, she is rooming with a friend who got in ED and gets first dibs (right?) and so is hopeful that they are getting Third North. Maybe you guys will meet :D. </p>
<p>Susan</p>
<p>Great! I hope so too!</p>
<p>Just a thought - you've all got four years to make yourselves nuts. School hasn't even started yet. Take a deep breath and chill.</p>
<p>Fall 2005 07/01/2005 Housing - Estimated Charge $ 5,399.00<br>
