<p>Yes. NYU ED accepted students have priority and many traditionally have chosen Hayden (most popular). However, some have written that Founders has become a contender for one of the favored dorm choices among incoming freshmen.</p>
<p>The good news is that there should be slightly less demand for Hayden with the opening of Founders in the last 2 years and its favored status among some of the incoming freshmen each year (my guess).</p>
<p>Even prior to Founders’ rise on the list of favored dorms, I read that some RD students do get into Hayden. This is likely due to timing of submitting your housing application/ survey and LUCK. So, if you are a RD accepted student who wants Hayden, I would submit all materials and have your roommate (if chosen by yourself) submit the housing materials at the same time (asap). That hopefully will give you a slight edge against a slightly smaller pool of applicants interested only in Hayden as first choice (with the Founders contingent that favor that dorm). Of course, you should be prepared to get a choice farther down your list of choices.</p>
<p>As noted previously by quite a few people, generally people seem to adjust and like the dorm they are in.</p>
