Big Housing Problem

<p>Housing will not be a problem for you guys. Unfortunately it is for us ('08). The freshmen dorms are all centrally located and most are very nice. I lived in third north, the walk is really not that bad, ten minutes for most of your classes, the farthest i ever walked was 15 minutes to the law school. Currently, many upperclassmen (especially sophmores) were shoved out to 26th street and university court (25th st.) because of lack of room in closer dorms. Also, although water street is far (and gorgeous), as far as NYU is concerned, it’s a black hole that sucks up cash, and the lease expires in two years and will not be renewed. For the rising frosh, they are implementing a program to build “community” where sophmores will either have priority for dorm choice or be given Union Square (Palladium, Carlyle, Coral, 13th st…basically the best dorms NYU has). So don’t worry about housing and forgive me for sounding a bit bitter.</p>
