    University Hall at NYU

    "Great rooms with a lot of space, AC, kitchen, and bathrooms. Easy access to learning center and commons cafe, which is open until 11pm most days. Close to union square and subway.
    Bit of a distance from main campus. " - 1 year ago

    Broome Street

    based on 2 reviews

    "Only real downside is no central AC, so any rooms without windows are warm/stuffy throughout the year, and the location. Kinda far from campus and other upperclassmen dorms that are usually by union but right next to Spring St 6 stop so class is only a 10-15 min commute. The laundry rooms are NICE tho since it runs on an app that tells you when your laundry is finished and they're on each floor." - 4 years ago

    Lipton Hall

    based on 19 reviews

    Lipton Hall at NYU

    "Lipton Hall is a great freshman dorm conveniently located near Washington Square Park and a 5-10min walk to most of the buildings (CAS, Stern, Kimmel, GCASL, Bobst library etc.) Another upside of living in Lipton is having a dining hall at your disposal. Most freshman dorms are traditional style ie without having kitchens and having a dining hall in your building is a great +
    The rooms are spacious and if you're lucky you'll have a great view (I had the view of empire state, a living dream!!) I would say the cons of Lipton Hall are smaller bathrooms and closet space, when compared to other dorms like Brittany Hall. But once you adjust to it, it's really great living there. I know it took me some adjusting especially being an international student but I ended up calling Lipton my home :)" - 10 months ago

    Othmer Hall

    based on 1 review

    "I lived in a double but had 2 other suitemates! Othmer offers traditional style (so like, no kitchen) and apartment style and I lived in the traditional style suite. Othmer is a new building and they did some other renovations the year after I moved out. It's also literally across the street from NYU's Brooklyn campus, so most times you were only 2 minutes away from the dining hall and classes." - 4 years ago

    Second Street

    based on 1 review

    "Had a double room with spacious bathroom! Very clean but the only problem was ventilation that we got fixed. Small kitchenette with low fridge / freezer storage capacity so have to grocery shop often. was on the 8th floor so the higher up the more the walls shake because it’s a skinny building." - 4 years ago
