<p>Does Rubin have Normal Triples?</p>
<p>And what is the difference in room size between a Low cost triple and a Triple at Rubin.</p>
<p>How does the Low cost triple rooms compare in size to the double rooms at Rubin? </p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Rubin does have some normal triples. There are some threads about this in the forum. </p>
<p>What NYU did is take a regular double room and put a bunk bed in it to make it a triple. There will be a bunk bed and a single bed. If all three students agree, you can debunk the bunk bed and have three single beds, although it makes it a little more cramped. </p>
<p>If you can do the search, find out what number the normal triples are, you can look at the pdf floor plan that’s been posted and compare the size. From what I remember when I was a student, it’s a roomy room with plenty of space for three people.</p>
<p>My daughter was in Rubin a couple of years ago in a LCT. It really is fine and doable. It will be the lowest cost housing you have in your four years at NYU (if cost is an issue) .</p>
<p>From the wiki
*-01: Typically a regular cost triple. VERY good size: the beds do not have to be bunked. It is a long room with one big room, a smaller area connected, and a bathroom. The best way to set-up the room is to put the 3 beds in the larger room + one desk, and then put the other 2 desks in the smaller room. There are two closets - one is deep with shelf space and the other is shallower but still large. The room is located on the 10th St. side of Rubin (there are three windows: one looks south and the other east). The rooms that are at the higher floors have a very good view of Bobst library and Washington Sq.</p>
<p>You can see the -01 triple here on the pdf. It is larger than any of the -09, -08 etc.
