<p>Anialways, Regarding Post #33, I think it is more important to find a “serious”/ studious roommate who is considerate in keeping to reasonable hours and allowing for study time. If your D is of that ilk (and with the academic pressures at Stern).</p>
<p>Also, check for compatible interests. For instance, my son loves music and found a roommate (with a very different major) who also loves music. They can share their mutual interest in music in their time away from studies. So far, the relationship has worked out well and they will share the same suite in the Sophomore year. </p>
<p>The common EC interest allows them to share time together with people from different majors and from different schools at NYU.</p>
<p>Separate issue: Following up on Posts 37-40, do make hotel reservations fro yourself and/ or family members if you plan on staying in the NYC close to or during Welcome week. Hotel rooms run out or prices are jacked up quite a bit the closer you get to the end of August.</p>
