<p>one thing...I've never seen someone who is so proud of her county...
most of them are proud of their countries, towns or cities...but ...county? what the hell...</p>
<p>Thats ridiculous. Someone can be proud of lots of things. People are proud of their nation, their expertise in a subject, their cars, their families, anyone can be proud of anything. Also, I don't see why you can only be proud of your nation or your town or city. In terms of being proud of geographical location you can be proud of the world, your country, region, state, county, city, town, street, house......gosh these arguments are ridiculous. Be proud of what you want to be proud of, whether it is your country or anything else.</p>
<p>Also, insulting me based on my family incomes, that's just low. Yeah I don't see the BMW parked in my driveway but I do see it next door. Commentary and observations don't have to be solely on yourself. The best commentary isn't on a person, themselves.</p>
<p>did i say all? I am just saying, it's the first time i ever saw a person who is so proud of her county. that's all.</p>
<p>Hi Everyone,</p>
<p>Let's get back to the topic at hand: Residence Halls.</p>
<p>Assuming that ED acceptees get first choice of dorms, what are the best ones? Are all rooms two-students-per-room? Are there any singles? Triples? </p>
<p>All thoughts would be appreciated.</p>
<p>So cal dad- There are suite style halls that are only freshman dorms which is 2 or 3 people in a room with 1 to 3 bedrooms and one bathroom usually provide two or three person bedrooms in one to three-bedroom suites with one bathroom. Apartment-style dorms have bedrooms with two people in it and then either two or three bedrooms with one or more bathrooms, a dining room, a kitchen, and a commona area. I don't know if apartment style dorms are all freshman. Those are the only ones that I know of but there could be more options. Also, I believe that ED students recieve priority housing or first choice. I hope this helps. I believe its all accurate. Good luck to your son or daughter.</p>
<p>There are very few singles for freshmen. Most are either 2 or 3 person rooms, or 4 person suites..and there exist a few larger suites as well for larger groups.</p>
<p>The best freshmen dorm is Hayden, hands down...its a combo of being close to classes, pretty nice for a frosh dorm, and having a very social party scene. Weinstein is a big party dorm, close to class, but its not as nice as Hayden, having much smaller rooms and lacking the pre war style of Hayden. Hayden's dining hall even has a lady working there who sings for students. ED's get a priority in dorm choice, and Hayden is probably the dorm to pick in my opinion. </p>
<p>Rubin and Goddard are nice, but tend not to be as social as the other freshmen dorms. Brittany is also nice, fairly social, but its just a little further from campus and doesn't have a dining hall (Brittany residents usuallly take their meals in Rubin's dining hall).</p>
<p>"We feel that what we expect of our student staff is a substantial responsibility. Therefore, we offer a remuneration package which includes housing and meals. To be exact, your housing is free while you are an RA and you receive a meal plan of your choice including on campus dining hall meals and declining dollars."</p>
<p>so, if you become an R.A., you don't pay much...hm :)</p>
<p>. . . any further advice about rooms within hayden? doubles? triples? which floor? etc.</p>
<p>this is such a great website . . .</p>
<p>so cal dad</p>
<p>yes, it's an awesome website. Is there anyway I can donate some money? lol joking... I am not very rich, but I am from Bergen County, the 2nd richest county in the nation...</p>
<p>Yes, it's true that E.D. acceptees get to indicate a preference of a particular dorm, one perq of being accepted Early. In past years, what they've allowed students to do is to list five dorms, in order of preference. I would assume that they will continue that trend this year. Last year they assigned certain dorms to be freshman only. These were Weinstein, Rubin, Hayden, Brittany, Goddard and 3rd North, which is an apartment style dorm. There was a bit of an overflow and some freshmen ended up in UHall, which is traditionally upperclassmen. Here is a link to a livejournal community which discusses the various dorms and where you can ask questions, even anonymously if you do not have a livejournal.</p>
<p>You do not get to choose particular rooms, or floors. If you want a low cost triple, you need to specify that. There's no guarantee you will get one, though, depending on how many make the request. In the traditional style dorms (all mentioned but 3rd North), a minimum mealplan is required. 3rd North apartments have kitchens. Here's the NYU housing website which will give you an idea of each dorm, its facilities, price, etc. Also take note of the location of each dorm because some are further from 'campus', i.e. most class buildings, than others. No freshmen are assigned to Water St. Even a lot of upperclassmen do not like Water because it's quite a distance away. It is a beautiful dorm, though.</p>
<p>I just got deferred from CAS into GSD. Are there are NYU freshmen or sophomores here who can tell me if they have GSD students living in their dorms and/or what they think of GSD students in general?
I'm basically trying to figure out what it would be like to spend my F and S years in this program as far as my interaction with students who are in the standard 7 schools is concerned.</p>
<p>I need a big room cuz im messy and i need an active social life and some partying, which one should i do. I want a bathroom and shower too, and good food.</p>
<p>"KJayson- SHUT UP! I don't know why you try to pick fights with people. I never
said I was cool and I don't sound like an alcoholic either. Just because I like
to party doesn't make me a bad person. Just because Bergen County can have some
killer house parties doesn't make us all alcoholics. I don't know why you're
jumping to conclusions and being so rude, its not attractive for anyone.
Btw, Bergen County is the 2nd richest county in the nation, look it up."</p>
<p>I thought this was over....don't have to personally message me like that..btw, I now see that I was bit rude, I apologize for that but I do not think I said anything wrong...</p>
<p>Boys, I think both of you need to stop this bickering. You are filling every thread on this forum with it and those who are looking to get or give advice are bombarded with your immature posts. Please IM each other or else stop it altogether or I'm going to ask the moderator to delete posts unrelated to the thread topics. Thank you.</p>
<p>now who is this? :) ok, i understood! i will try not to be a dick to you guys....sorry. i became very strange these days. see what nyu has done to me. :( </p>
<p>apologize to you guys, and i hope to start my posts, nicely, again. :)</p>
<p>OK, I have to be honest, I haven't read all the previous posts, I skimmed them so if this was covered please don't attack me. Which NYU dorm is the most fun for freshmen? Assuming I get accepted, which dorm is the best for meeting people and what not (not water street- got it). Secondly, I here there are no dorm parties, but are there at least some small social gatherings? I read all about Bergen county and the clubs so I mean strictly dorms.</p>
<p>kjayson- stop ****ing people off then apologizing....uve done it like 10 times on this board.......you post a bunch of chances threads with misleading titles only to apologize later, you've insulted half the people on the nyu board and then apologize...cmon</p>

<p>This may off-thread, but my son also was deferred from Gallatin to GSP. Can we get some feedback to MB716's questions?</p>
<p>I do not know very well but I heard something about GSP students while I was attending NYU summer school.</p>
<p>I took Business Calculus last summer and there were mostly Stern and Stern GSP students. They said they all participate in same activities and stuff like that but one kid told me that some look down on them. But again, if you are a Stern GSP, you might be smarter than some CAS students, really. But they were doing alright. I do not think it's a big issue though.</p>
<p>However, your schedule might be very tight because Stern students take business courses from their freshmen years. GSP students might have to take summer schools to catch up. I think that's why there were so many Stern GSP students in that Business Calculus class. The course was for Stern Freshmen, but most of the Sophomore Stern GSP students were taking that course during the summer.</p>
<p>But for Gallatin students, i do not think it's a big issue. you can transfer your credits earned and make up that Liberal Arts requirements. </p>
<p>One bad thing is that...it's very hard for you to transfer out to a different school because you are stuck in GSP for two years...maybe it's impossible to transfer out. I do not know exactly how this works.</p>
<p>You can transfer to a different school than you applied after your 2 years of GSP. I'm not sure how this works but my friend applied to CAS, was referred to GSP, and then after her 2 years of GSP went to Gallatin.....I have no idea how she did it but she did so it is possible to go to a different school after your 2 years of GSP than the one you originally applied to.</p>
