NYU Residence Halls

<p>I think from CAS to Gallatin and vice versa is very easy because the two schools are liberal arts schools. But if you want to transfer to Stern i think it's very hard.</p>

<p>Is it binding? do you have to stay where you applied to? well your friend's case certainly says it's possible to transfer out. :)</p>

<p>by the way, i am sorry soprano</p>

<p>KJayson- its cool, let's just try to not get personal anymore. And I think that should go for everyone. Let's keep it about NYU and admissions and college in general, not about each other.</p>

<p>At the end of two years in GSP and having maintained the required gpa, students are guaranteed a spot in the college to which they first applied. If they would like to enter a different NYU college, they must apply for an internal transfer. There is no guarantee that an internal transfer will be granted. This goes for ANY internal transfer, and it is why they recommend that you apply to the NYU college which you really want to attend (and not have the hope that you can transfer once there). So, it's not really transferring OUT of GSP, it's requesting a different college once GSP is finished.</p>

<p>Basic rule of thumb at NYU is that if you didn't get into Stern when you applied your not going to get in. It is next to impossible to transfer into Stern once you are a student. CAS and Tisch are next in terms of difficulty but schools like Gallatin and the school of social work are easy.</p>

<p>Do NYU residential halls have floor games such as shooting etc.? I know Harvard does...</p>

<p>many nyu dorms are part of other real apartment buildings, but nyu rents out some of the floors or something like that so its not like the entire twenty floors are owned by nyu
and about the students in gsp, yes they dorm in the same dorms as students not in gsp, they can become good friends with everyone since everyone is going to nyu
for students in gsp for cas, they mainly take broad-ranging core-type classes their first two years, and once they transfer into the undergrad school, they can take stuff relating to the their major and other classes
sorry if this isn't very coherent</p>

<p>so no game floors :(?</p>

<p>what is a game floor?</p>

<p>My history teacher who graduate from Harvard University a couple years ago told us how awesome he was at this little BB Gun like shooting game. He told us that there is this specific court/area where the game is being played and it's like an on-gong non-stop game in which participants shoot ruthlessly regardless of time/place. </p>

<p>Is there anything like that at NYU? Remember those days when you first brought your BB Gun to your school and got into a big trouble and never brought it again? well, I hope I have some more privilege at a college...</p>

<p>attention: I don't mean real shooting...gee I have to be so careful about my words on this board. or else bunch gang up on me</p>

<p>i just want like a normal game floor with like pool, air hockey, and stuff lol
they got a rock climbing wall which is cool tho</p>

<p>I was surfing through the NYU student activities etc. sites but many of them were either under construction or just simply not linked correctly.</p>

<p>But I am def joining their Bedminton club. :) god, i am so Asian...</p>

<p>they have a coles sports center, which has a swimming pool and stuff
and a kimmel center which is for hanging out so it maybe has some arcade game stuff? i dont know
and you can go to Chelsea Piers a place where there is a lot of sporty stuff
and they have this dorm palladium which has its own swimming pool, and doesn't even use keys, they use cards like the hotel room cards i heard ha</p>

<p>so what i do know:
i have visited rubin and water street. rubin i think is very nice, nyu does not have communal bathrooms so you share with like max. four ppl if you live in a suite. i dont think the rooms are bad, i think they are nice. if you live in a triple it is not like you are suffocating for a lack of space, i think it is the same size room as a double. it always depends on how everyone organizes their space and whatnot. there are church bells which ring a lot apparently, so that may get annoying.<br>
water street- freshman prob cant get this and it really isnt the best dorm for freshman anyway. it is like an apt, it gives you a kitchen and living space. But unlike all those other studios in manhattan which you rent for a grand a month for an apt the size of a closet, here you have a lot of room. since it is an apt, you will be spending a lot of time at your own place, not at a cafeteria if you didnt have your own kitchen for example, so you do get to be less social i suppose.</p>

<p>yeah so i hope this helps. i dont go to nyu (am applying there reg) but i do know people there and stuff.</p>

<p>wow i said "stuff" way too often</p>

<p>how about some info on bathrooms? just in case I do not find nyu girls attractive enough for me to...</p>

<p>shower room, separated or not, one or two or three? a bathroom for each? etc.</p>

<p>anyone? please post about bathrooms and so on..</p>

<p>NYU residence halls have a plethora of activities...especially for freshmen. You can get discounted tickets to things like Yankee games and broadway plays. Some halls have floors to that explore a particular topic. Each resident advisor of a floor gets money from the school to spend on group activities (eg dinners, shows, etc)....with a cool, willing, and risk taking RA, it can even be used for drinking money. Also, many dorms have faculty in residence that you can interact with or p** off by playing really loud music.</p>

<p>KJ: NYU dorm rooms all have their own bathrooms...NYU is one of the few schools where nobody uses common bathrooms.</p>

<p>wow RA's buy u alcohol, thats the coolest thing I ever heard</p>

<p>do RAs buy you drugs too? I mean illicit ones...not like the ones you buy at CVS</p>

<p>They aren't suppossed to since NYU's official policy is obviously not to promote underage drinking. However, some RA's are cool, and will take you out drinking but tell the school they used the money for a dinner (after all, many places serve both food and liqour). </p>

<p>It all depends on how cool your particular RA is...they are mostly upperclassmen (some are grad students as well). Some RA's have been known to party hard with their floor's residents...some may even hook up with you...it just depends on the type of person you get.</p>

<p>KJ: I would say most do not. RA's still have to account to the school for the money they spend, so liqour in a resturant or bar is okay, drugs are obviously not...you'll have to procure them on your own.</p>
