I’m an incoming transfer student to Tisch, and I’m a victim of the housing shortage.

It’s ridiculous, and incredibly frustrating, but for anyone with questions, I have a few answers after calling yesterday.

They told me the hotel for the displaced will be in Chelsea, which, after looking at Google Maps, looks like it’ll be over 2 miles away. Being away from the college campus life will be annoying, and I’m sure there will be some things inevitably missed during Welcome Week, but, HEY! the college is giving us free unlimited Metro Passes (YAY :sarcasm: ).

You won’t pay more than most people living on-campus, but they didn’t give me any significant figures.

This is a horrible situation, and NYU is definitely not making a good first impression on this transfer student.
