<p>The roommate was moved to a single, from what I have heard. Things have changed. Back nearly 40 years ago, I was a Big Sister in a program as were others on campus. We would occaisionally have the kids stay the night in the dorm room. Not a problem ever. Now with the child molestation sitautions with the priests, teacher, coaches no one would do that. Also, the idea of a child in a dorm (which it wasn’t–it was apartment) is a horror. </p>
<p>Apparently this mother has been doing this for a while but this Ms Snellgroves is the first to make it enough of a deal that NYU moved the mother into a single. I don’t see what NYU could do about not permitting the child to be guest since guest policies in place make no age stipulations.</p>
<p>I don’t think the parent has primary custody of the child, and the child does not live there. But she would have visitation rights and would want the child there for overnights in such a situation. To get housing with a dependent full time would cost considerably more. The apartments given to NYU students are ususally very small with each small bedrooms shared by two people, a small living room/kitchen dining area and shared bathrooms among all those living in the apartment is the usual fare.</p>
