<p>Hey!</p>

<p>I would like to know, a) what would you give NYU Dorms (overall) rating, 1-10 (1 being poor), b) which freshman dorm has the best atmosphere (good upkeep, cleanest, best rooms/lobby areas), c) which freshman dorm is closest to the academic buildings. </p>

<p>Also.. what are we allowed to bring to the dorms? And are the dorms safe, and in good areas?</p>

<p>And if you don't mind, how are you liking NYU? Any warnings, tips, advice? Thanks so much guys!</p>

<p>No problem!
I’ve been looking through it so much in case I get accepted.</p>

<p>If it helps from an insider, Goddard is the absolute closest. It’s about a 90-second commute from your bed (if you’re on a lower floor and don’t have to take the elevators) to your seat in most classrooms. You may not like it for the ResColl requirements, but it beats all for location.</p>

<p>I’d rate them probably a 7 overall, most are fairly clean, relatively spacious for the cost, and a good way to live for the type of university we are.</p>

<p>For freshmen, I’d recommend:

  1. Goddard (if you like location or want a tight-knit, engaging community)
  2. Hayden (decent but not terrific rooms, amazing dining hall, and second-best location)
  3. Founders (if you want newest/cleanest but don’t mind a 10-minute walk to classes)
  4. Third North (if you want a large but slightly anonymous atmosphere that does not lack a party scene)</p>

<p>Not ranked in order, just listed by attributes. I wouldn’t recommend Weinstein or Rubin at all. Brittany is okay once you get out of September, the lack of A/C can be brutal in shared rooms.</p>
