Hey! This is a video that goes over the NYU freshman housing process for 2020! (sorry if the video was bit choppy this time- I was really fidgety for some reason hehe) I’m going by how the process worked for me last year in 2019, but hopefully there aren’t too many changes due to corona virus -
In this video I'll be going over: the process of NYU housing (step-by-step with a rough timeline), an overview of all the factors to take into account when choosing a dorm, and lastly my ranking of the dorms (the top three and the bottom two), including the pros and cons and vibes of each.
This video includes a lot of detail on Brittany hall (that’s where I have a lot of knowledge in) but I also provide a very brief overview of the other freshman dorms as well.
I remember how around a year ago when I was trying to pick my dorms I was looking a for a guide to NYU housing that touched upon a few of these topics, so I hope that you guys can find this helpful! Be sure to also do some research online and take a look at other dorm tour videos when making your decision- that’s what I found really helpful! : )
As I mentioned in the video, each dorm truly has it’s own pros and cons. You might also find that the popular opinion isn’t something you agree with. Keep in mind that you can also do bed-for-bed switches later on in the year if you really don’t like your dorm!!
Don’t hesitate to comment down below if you have any questions. Otherwise, like comment and subscribe if you enjoyed the video! I’ll be posting three videos a week about NYU related topics, college in general, lifestyle/vlogs, and fashion
A bit about me:
~ i'm 18 years old
~ from the Bay Area
~ i'm a freshman at NYU
~ major: econ/MCC

As always, thanks so much for watching and stay tuned!!

I’m class ‘24, in CAS and majoring in psych!! Super excited to go but I am having such a hard time picking a residential hall. I feel like rubin is such a split dorm- you either don’t mind it or completely hate it. If you don’t mind I would love it if you gave me more info on ur personal opinion cuz I was looking to live in low cost Rubin but now idk :(

@heyitsbridge 4 жыл бұрын

congratulations on getting in!! there are a few things that I like about Rubin, but I've never actually been inside one of the rooms. I have been inside the building itself though (like the hallways and stuff), and had a class there on the first floor. I really like Rubin's location, as the street it's located on is really pretty and is across the street from a church and when you look down the street has a classic view of the arch and Washington square campus. It's a pretty close walk to campus compared to some dorms and the walk to campus has a very nice new-yorky aesthetic- if that makes sense. I asked a some of my friends who lived in Rubin if they like it and they said that the building is very old and kind of dirty including the dorms itself. The rooms are also generally smaller than most of the other dorms and if you're in a triple, two of the three beds will be bunk beds- which isn't the case in most if not all other dorms. My friend also said the bathrooms are tiny and look like a "prison bathroom." I've been the halls once and they are darker, older and more cramped than the Brittany, Lipton, Founders, but similar to halls in Weinstein. But if you do further research into Rubin and like it, please don't let this discourage you! I know someone who made the best memories and friends in Rubin and she ended up loving the dorm. sorry this is lengthy but hope this helped! and feel free to ask more questions :)

@rosesutton2357 4 жыл бұрын

I applied Lipton first and Britany second for themed housing, do you know the likelihood of acceptances into themed housing floors? I'm scared I won't get either or something I hope that's not possible. I wasn't sure what the criteria was for the essay I had to write so I kinda just went on a wing. Also, do you now exactly when in the summer we find out? (obv corona virus might change everything but)

@heyitsbridge 4 жыл бұрын

I think you have a good chance! Most people don't apply for themed floors and I heard that some people also apply for themed floors just to get a specific buildings sometimes- so I think that means you'll have a high chance. I just checked and NYU emailed me back about dorms on July 2nd. Hope this helps :)

@heyitsbridge 4 жыл бұрын

I haven't looked into all the options but Palladium, U-hall, and Carlisle are all the closest proximity to campus (all centered near Union Square which is around a 10-15 walk to campus). Palladium has a dining hall, a gym, and the Wasserman Career center all within it. Carlisle has a courtyard in it, but a complaint about Carlisle is that there's only one closed off room (with a door), so some people will end up having to sleep in an area that looks like a living room with a kitchen right by it (and no official bedroom door). I would recommend U-Hall because I've heard good things about it - it also serves food and has a tutoring center within it. If you don't mind being far from campus (which would require a commute) I would recommend Gramercy Greene! It's a really nice building with great amenities and has a great location- but requires a commute. Hope this helped!

Questions. 1)can you plz tell me if I can live in a suite but one or two of them can be my friends???? It's my dream school so I need this information 2)how do you know that you have a package 3)are the dorms clear and is the hall safe 4)did you have to tell other people in your hallway to be more quiet or to clean more??? SORRY BUT I'M NERVOUS😘😘😘

@heyitsbridge 3 жыл бұрын

Hi!! In the past you couldn’t live with friends as a freshman- it had to be random selection but with COVID this past year they did allow you to pick friends but I’m not too sure about the details

@heyitsbridge 3 жыл бұрын

As for packages, you get an email from the dorm when something comes for you and you can go to the front desk and there will be RAs on duty to give you your package

@heyitsbridge 3 жыл бұрын

And yes the dorms are very safe because there’s strict security and there will pretty much never be random people in the dorm, and as for establishing cleaning rules that’s normally something you’d want to discuss amongst your roommates when you first move in together!

My family definitely wouldn’t be able to afford NYU but I took the chance and I was accepted and they gave me ALOT of scholarship/aid money+work study and now I’m excited to be apart of the class of 2025!! You won’t regret it I promise :))
