<p>Hayden
The best Freshmen dorm socially Hayden is the most fun. It is also across the park from campus so the location is tough to beat. The rooms however are a little cramped especially if you are in a triple.
3rd North
Quickly becoming the best Freshmen dorm I HIGHLY RECCOMEND IT. While it is farther from campus (about 5 blocks away) it mixes great rooms with a great social life. For those of you who need a low cost triple 3rd North is your best bet. There is no air conditioning however so be warned. It gets cold quickly though so you are never uncomfortable. 3rd North feels like realy college dorm due to the courtyard and apartment feel. They also have a dining hall in their dorm which is awesome. (I’ll be an RA there next year to! 
)
U Hall
U Hall will be an all Freshmen dorm next year. The rooms are the nicest of all Freshmen dorms but it is also the farthest from campus. The bus runs their but during Freshmen year it is nice to be closer.
Brittany
Brittany is kind of a forgotten NYU dorm. It is not nice and not bad just kind of in the middle. In my experience people were assigned Brittany, they never asked for it.
Weinstein
Weinstein sucks. The rooms are small especially if you request a low cost triple. The only upside is the dining hall downstairs and its close proximity to campus.
Goddard
Same as Brittany</p>
<p>Overall NYU housing blows almost every other school in the nation but you won’t get to see why until your Sophomore Junior and Senior years. Your freshmen year however is a lot of fun as the dorms are much more social.</p>
