<p>@jumpin95 All the freshman dorms are either 10-15 minutes from Washington Square Park or they’re super close and less than five minutes away. There’s a couple pretty good dining halls at NYU, so I wouldn’t really worry about that. But if you’re looking for dorms with their own dining halls, then Weinstein, Hayden, Third North, and UHall all have dining halls. Weinstein and Hayden are closer to classes.</p>
<p>I think Founders has the biggest rooms - but it’s about a 12-minute walk from campus. Honestly, the walk isn’t bad. I live about 15 minutes from campus. Founders is basically right next to Third North (which has a dining hall), and there’s also Palladium and UHall as dining options near there.</p>
<p>The newer dorms (but they’re also the ones that are farther from classes) probably have bigger rooms. I’ve heard Weinstein and Hayden have decently sized rooms, but they’re not as big as Founders - which is known for its spacious rooms.</p>
<p>One plus about being a little farther from campus is that you get to eat at the dining halls there when you’re at your dorm and you get to eat at the dining halls closer to campus when you’re in between classes or something. I know some people who live closer to campus that feel kind of stuck with those couple of dining halls and are too lazy to walk to the area where I live (even though it’s only like ten minutes away, haha).</p>
