Surviving Sandy

<p>I’m a freshman who is currently holding out still in NYC. Depending on your dorm, some people were forced to move into dorms with running water and partial lighting (hallways.) Kimmel is open 24/7 and has been the place to go for charging and some have chose to sleepover there. Palladium is providing hot showers as well for those who want them. </p>

<p>Many students have left the school to find shelter elsewhere. Personally, the biggest complaint is that the surrounding shops are pretty much all closed making outside food almost impossible. Going to midtown seems like the best option to escape the blackout however getting up there takes a lengthy cab ride (including the wait.) NYU has been pretty helpful and you can find more info on their Facebook page as they are constantly updating it. </p>

<p>On a positive note, Alec Baldwin visited students at Kimmel tonight and President Sexton has decided to host a “party” tomorrow night with magicians and performers at Bobst.</p>
