I am a freshman at NYU currently, and I live at Founders. Although there’s no dining hall yet (because it’s new) Third North is right across the street, and has the best food. And Palladium (which has the gym and Wasserman Career Center) is one street over. Since it’s on 12th street, Union Square is VERY CLOSE, which means a plethora of shopping areas and easy subway access.

PLUS, the dorms are huge and amazing and clean. I’m not sure, but I think Hayden has carpeting in their dorms, and even though that seemed nice to me at first, the carpet always tends to get disgusting quickly. You can always invest in some of your own carpets, which is what I did. In general, Founders is super clean and large, which is most important, to me, for a residence hall.

As for classes, Founders is a 10 minute walk from the Washington Square campus, which I know might be a stretch, but honestly it’s not that bad. Anyway, not all my classes were in Washington Square.
