Thanks everyone for the positive comments. I think she became spoiled by the great location of Palladium right there in Union Square. From what everyone is saying, it’s all going to be fine.

alwaysamom: I’m glad to hear it has an exercise room. She was worried about that. Although she’s been in the city for the past two years, she hasn’t had a ton of experience getting around on her own. She’s generally with friends or her boyfriend when taking the subway. This dorm’s location may end up being a blessing in disguise, since it will give her more of a true taste of life in the city beyond the main campus’s immediate vicinity.

cobrat: I’m with you regarding the Chinese food Since my daughter is a vegetarian, her options are more limited, but I’m sure Chinatown has some yummy veggie dishes she could try. I suppose she’ll learn how to expand her cooking skills in the fall. She says the NYU food service is ok. She eats a lot of the pasta dishes, pizza, and Indian food for the most part. If she weren’t vegetarian, she’d be able to sample more options.

pellicularities: For some reason she was reluctant to choose 2nd Street. I think she heard there were a coupld of homeless shelters nearby and she got nervous about this. She is still getting used to city life. At only 4’10" she needs to put on her city face in order not to be an easy mark!

Thanks again everyone for your encouraging words!
