<p>Are or were you content with your roommate?</p>
<p>I am pretty happy with my roommate. we are both pretty laid back and don’t really have any problems with one another. I feel like NYU does a pretty good job. There are obv some poeple complaining about their roommates being crazy but tbh they are kinda crazy themselves and their roommates are probably saying the same things about them. Either way if you are laid back then NYU will prob put you with a laid back roommate and you won’t have a problem. I love my entire suite and we don’t have any problems so far</p>

<p>It sounds like you are adapting well to NYU? Has it met up to your expectations? Hope so. Wish you well as the semester of studying progresses.</p>
<p>My D and her roommate could not be more compatible!</p>
<p>I live in Washington Square Village - Shared Studio w/ a kitchen. Me and my roommate are complete opposites but honestly, it works for us. We are not “best friends,” nor do we hang out but we respect eachother and have set basic ground rules for the dorm. So far, so good. The only main issues I see happening is that my roommate does not have “overnight guests” and I have a long distance boyfriend, who at some point will be visiting for a weekend per semester. NYU has set up rules for that kind of issue though that states each roommate are allowed overnight guests 6 nights per month. I think NYU does a pretty good job about matching people up. I also think the students at NYU are a bit more mature than your average state college, so typically your not stuck with the stereotypical drunk frat kid (only 2% of NYU students are in a frat/sor). If the roommate situation is THAT BAD you can always request to be switched.</p>

<p>Would you rather have chosen a single room or not?</p>
<p>Yea NYU is pretty good with pairing roommates…you’ll always have those exceptions with people who don’t get along with their roommates but for the most part they do a good job…personally i couldn’t be happier with my roommates</p>
<p>No, I dont think students should even consider a single while going to NYU. The best part of the experience is learning to share a space and accomodate someone else. I also think it would be very lonely if I was by myself everyday. Even though me and my roommate dont hang out, we do have conversations and will talk about our day. I would hate to have to call my mom everyday to tell her about my day haha or have nobody to talk to about my day. My roommate has also lived in NY for a few years, where I just moved from Florida, so she helped me out with things to do or where to find a grocery store.</p>
<p>True “singles” are very rare at NYU. There ARE singles in suites, and in Alumni Hall, single bedrooms are attached to a bigger suite. So you are in a single bedroom, but you still have roommates you hang out with. </p>
<p>Most single suites are given to RAs. Single suites exist, but if you want to have your own bedroom in a room, you’ll still have roommates.</p>
