i’m going to be an incoming 3-2 student. I lived in apt last year and really liked it. I’d rather not live at 365 riverside, especially since i have found a few apts on amsterdam, broadway, and 122nd that are a little closer. Plus, they are all two bedroom, so I wouldn’t have to share a room with anyone.



Keep in mind that 3/2 students are fairly isolated from the student body as it is. Besides the people in your major, the only way you meet other people is by joining clubs and by living with them. The 3/2 students were always pretty well bonded because they all lived in the same place, threw parties together, and were just generally close.

I’m of the opinion it would be better to share a room for a year and make a bunch of friends right off the bat than not having that social safety net…but that’s just me.
