<p>eh, it’s not that hard to get along with upperclassmen.</p>
<p>It’s alot harder than meeting every freshman living on a freshman floor. Notwithstanding the age, level of maturity, interests, the fact that upperclassmen already have their NYU friends is a factor.</p>
<p>Well, I did my undergrad (and graduate, I already have an M.A.) work in Europe, so I’m a graduate student, but I don’t know anyone at NYU either. It’ll work out though, aside from having the worst possible location :).
It’ll be weird having a roommate though, I’ve been living on my own for 5 years now and all of a sudden I’ll be sharing a bedroom with another person!</p>
<p>I too, was thrown inside Lafayette Street Residence as an incoming Freshman…great~</p>
<p>Quite frankly, I think it’s a positive thing to be placed in an upperclassman dorm as a freshman. I wish I was.</p>
<p>seriously i think i’d cry if they put me in Lafayette now, nevermind a freshmen. its not only a pretty decent-to-far walking distance, it’s also in a remotely different neighborhood with a homeless shelter next store. This is on top of the fact that you’re trying to adjust to lifestyle in New York with everyone who’s already adjusted.</p>
<p>I heard lafayette was a party dorm. Nothing wrong with living there.</p>
<p>Rotflmfao.</p>
<p>I was put into Lafayette too as a freshman. : [
Kind of bummed about it.
Does anyone have any details/experiences regarding Lafayette at all?</p>
<p>My friend lived in the penthouse there. It was the most amazing student housing ever ever. They had an elegant staircase, a kitchen the size of my dorm room (at hayden), 3 singles upstairs, and marbled sinks and finishing in the bathroom. They also had a balcony that is prohibited but her window leads right to it so it was super accessible and nobody ever knows that you set foot. It was seriously amazing.</p>
<p>Third North, Ts-0605! Yeeeaaaahh. It’s gonna be an all-Asian suite too! :)</p>
