<p>So my girlfriend is visiting for ten days in September. I'm rooming in Broome Street, and was just told we're allowed six nights per month of guest visits?? Do they really check on this stuff and or take it seriously??</p>
<p>Does anyone have any experience with this and if so, do you have any recommendations? How can I sneak my girlfriend in and out?</p>
<p>All of the dorms have “guards” who make sure only NYU students come in. If you have a guest, they generally have to sign in and give up some ID, like a drivers license, when they enter (can pick it up each time they leave, if needed.) So there’s a record of each day the guest is there.</p>
<p>First off, be nice to the guards. Being friendly is good. Then it depends on the guard the next time she comes in after the sixth night (I thought it was just three consecutive nights, maybe it’s changed.) They probably won’t say anything for an extra night. Also, maybe a roommate or friend can have her as a guest (on the sign-in list) on other nights. The dorm manager may take a look at the guest sign-in list, in which case they may say something. Ten days (nine nights?) is definitely pushing it a bit, but having friends help out a bit might make this work. Do you have a roommate? This has to be worked out with all parties affected.</p>
<p>it’s only three consecutive nights, with six nights per calendar month, and with how careful they are checking IDs… that’s not going to work. i suggest you look into motels/hostels/hotels near NYU asap.</p>
<p>BE REALLY CAREFUL WITH THIS. My roommate tried doing this and got busted and written up after 8 days in Palladium. She was written up by Housing and he wasn’t allowed to check into the dorm again. Luckily, he was able to crash in my friend’s apartment off-campus. </p>
<p>They really do check up on it because: </p>
<p>a) it can be uncomfortable for the other roommates to have another person around for so long
b) it’s technically NYU’s responsibility to make sure they are safe, and they would rather just try to cut down on the number of guests</p>
<p>It’s technically three consecutive nights, six nights a month. Unless they are coming in internationally, you can appeal for a longer guest pass. Just be careful. Sometimes people can do it, sometimes you get written up like my friend. Good luck.</p>
<p>Not a great way to start out a roommate relationship inviting someone for 10 days prior to your moving in and talking it out. Your roommate/s need consideration in this case, 10 nights is way too much to ask anyone to be comfortable with a guest, in fact you should make alternate plans now. Even the most accomodating roommate should not have to put up with a 10 day guest.</p>
<p>My girlfriend has family that owns an apartment in the lower east side, so her plan was to stay there the majority of the time ( as was mine when she was in town ). The question was more as a hypothetical for a night or two just because if we go out drinking in the area it may be more convenient .</p>
<p>I’d much rather stay at her cousins with a queen bed to share than a little twin lol</p>
