Most social freshman dorms

just my opinion…I agree with collconfalumna that you “Pick a dorm you think you’ll be most comfortable in. You’ll find your party people no matter what.”

My child is in the Class 2016 and lives in Hayden, I’ve been there personally to see the dorm in Fall2012, and I was very concerned about the “rumor” that Hayden is a party dorm.
There’s no such thing! Call me naive that I don’t really know but when we parents had a first meeting with the resident director he assured us that it’s studies first and party later.
If you decide to live in Hayden, you will still manage to meet other freshmen who lives in other dorms, that’s how you socialise I think.
As a freshman, you’re there to enjoy your first year in college, it will be overwhelming for you but bear in mind as well that you went there to study (considering that NYU is very expensive, and that you’re one of the luckiest kid to have that chance).
As a concerned mom I can now say that wherever dorm you will live in, there will always be parties and fun, it all depends on the people you hang around with.
Just don’t forget that you didn’t get in there to party, I told my student “study hard, then play hard later”, and I’m proud to say that inspite of the overwhelming experience in their first semester, my student still manage to reach the required GPA.
I wish you all the best in the Fall 2013.
