Weinstein is so underrated everyone hates on it but if u get lucky u get lucky fr, I love it - west tower, west facing window (aka an actual view)

For me personally, Third north or Uhall because it's so nice to have a common room, especially when you're up late doing work and don't want to bother your roommate, plus the kitchen is great for when you're sick of the dining halls. If room size is important to you I would say Founders or Brittany. Founders is prettiest, but I've heard good things about the community in Brittany.

I would say founders or brittany! Both really close to campus with great amenities. Area is also very safe!

If you think room size is important, I would choose Founders. The rooms in Founders may be the largest among all NYU dorms, and the surrounding facilities are also very complete. Most of my friends who live in other dorms also really like Founders.

NYU Housing

Living on campus is not mandatory, except for students studying away at NYU-NYC from NYU-Shanghai or NYU-Abu Dhabi. The majority of the rooms available for students are shared, with less than 3% being private. Tandon first year residents are assigned to Brooklyn residence halls, while Manhattan-based school first year residents are assigned to Manhattan residence halls with no exceptions. NYU dorms come in a few different styles: triple in unit or studio, double in unit and double in studio, with or without kitchen inside depends on the building. NYU also offers lower cost options for students, such as 3 people living in a double. On-campus living is not a requirement but most commonly first-year students would choose to live in dorms.
