<p>hey guys, I just found out a few days ago that I got off NYU's waitlist and now i'm so so so psyched to go! (: especially since I'll be going with my best friend!</p>
<p>but we're having trouble choosing our housing, so i hope you can help me out. we're both interested in choosing a traditional dorm rather than apartment style, which is close to CAS and Stern (both our schools). </p>
<p>I've heard so many mixed reviews about Hayden, Goddard and Weinstein. Which are mainly our first few choices since air-con was a big factor in our decision making (hee!). So pls help me out! (: thanks!</p>
<p>i’m a rising sophomore at nyu, and i’ve been to every one of those dorms. here’s how i rank them:</p>
<p>1) Goddard - everything is pretty clean, and since it’s small it has a sense of community there if that’s what you’re looking for. And it’s the closest to classes!</p>
<p>2) Hayden - the dining hall is really good, better than any of Weinstein’s. other than that it’s old and the rooms are a hit or miss. some are really big or are really small. also the bathrooms are not good…</p>
<p>3) Weinstein - i think it’s okay, but it just feels too confining and somewhat depressing. however, it is pretty convenient given the short walk to class and the dining areas.</p>
<p>art_star: thanks for the insight! (: i just found out that 12th street is a traditional dorm too but no one has been talking much abt it. do you have any info you can share? the only thing that troubles me abt it is that it’s further away from our schools than the other dorms.</p>
<p>hirenishungry: hey! congrats to you! (: and i’ve been looking at my friend’s package since mine is still in the mail on its way (i’m an international student so it’s taking a long time to come) so i’m not too sure (sorry!), but i’m pretty sure we’ll be able to sign up soon cos apparently housing applications close on 1st june?</p>
<p>12th Street is the brand new dorm that is just about to open up. It’s HUGE, which has caused quite a commotion in the community, as it is drastically taller than the buildings around it, and an old church was torn down (save for its portico) to build the dorm. </p>
<p>As for location, it’s not that far of a walk to campus, maybe just 10-15 minutes, which is about the same distance as from Third North. You’re right in the East Village and all the hipster trendiness it has to offer, and a couple blocks north there’s Union Square with its own special nexus of hustle and bustle.</p>
