College Prowler Take
Most of the NYU apartment-style dorms are really nice. Students tend to like Lafayette for its big rooms and because it is one of the more social dorms on campus. Broome Street is a downtown gem that is said to be overlooked; it has spacious rooms—some of the nicest NYU has to offer. Dorms such as Third North and Palladium offer a great uptown location close to campus that is constantly alive with colorful atmosphere. Freshmen dorms aren’t as nice, mainly because they are one room and have no kitchen. Weinstein, Brittany, and Hayden are some of the freshman dorms that offer on-campus proximity but not necessarily the best rooms. Freshmen usually find it very helpful to be close to campus for their first year. An NYU tour guide once said, “Enjoy the NYU dorms while you live in them. They are probably the nicest apartments you will be able to afford in New York City for a long time.” It’s true that there are some great advantages to NYU housing. First, there are no communal bathrooms whatsoever. Of course, you do have to clean your own, but at least you know whose hair you’re pulling out of the drain. Second, the dorms are in some of the most coveted locations in the whole city. Beyond that, the quality of most of the rooms is great—especially Gramercy Green with all its shiny new appliances. There are some downsides to consider, however. Dorms are very expensive, and if you ever move off-campus, you’ll never get back into NYU’s housing system. Students Speak Out

The dorms at NYU are nice. Third North is great if you're into living with a lot of people. The location is awesome, giving you a nice walk to campus but separating you just enough to force you to explore the city on your own. The dining hall and laundry areas are very convenient. It is nice but dangerous having a kitchen in your rooms, and common areas are a lot of fun. Brittany is awesome if you like closet space and your roommate. There is carpeting, and it's a nice place to chill.

Compared to other schools, NYU's dorms are awesome. Every bedroom has its own bathroom. The freshman dorms are all right, but they have the best location. The best upperclassmen dorm is Gramercy.

All the dorms here are nice! They are larger and more spacious than most dorms I have seen at other schools. All upperclassmen dorms are apartment style, and all rooms—including freshman dorms—have a bathroom with a shower. Gramercy Green is the nicest upperclassmen apartment. It is a multimillion dollar apartment complex that the University purchased.

Most of the dorms are old but nice. Because they’re typically renovated hotels or apartments, all students get their own private bathrooms. Weinstein (a freshman dorm) is often referred to as “the cinderblock prison,” but as college dorms go, it’s still pretty nice. And there’s always a chance you’ll get put into Gramercy Green, which was originally a luxury apartment building until NYU purchased it. Gramercy boasts floor-to-ceiling windows, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and hardwood floors.

Did You Know?Freshmen live in standard dorm-style rooms with two to four people to a room. All NYU dorm rooms have their own full bathroom with tub/shower, but freshmen do not have their own kitchen, unless they live in Palladium Residence Hall. Beginning sophomore year, students may live in the apartment-style dorms, which range in size and set up. The types of apartments available are studios, one bedroom apartments, and suites. All University apartment-style dorm rooms have a kitchen. Apartments also have some sort of common area, however big or small that may be. Low-cost housing rooms are smaller. All apartment-style dorms also have laundry facilities; many have them on each floor.
