Is Palladium Hall the best dorm at NYU?

Palladium is so convenient but the rooms are ugly and the bathroom was always backed up and dirty.

Great location. There are no stairs that allow you to go up from the first floor so you always have to take the elevator. Fire alarms go off almost once a week at very inconvenient times. Good size bedrooms. Showers mold very easily

Palladium is a nice dorm only because of the amenities. It has singles and suites but rooms are small and bathrooms are not updated. The amenities are the best features. The gym is the largest on campus with swimming pool, basketball, work out equipments and weight machines. The cafeteria is also the best on campus. The variety caters to everyone's needs. Sunday Brunch was a tradition for my friends and I. We had French Toast, eggs Benedict, paella etc. It's also right at Union Square so you're at a central location for catching a train to anywhere in the city. It's also only a 15 min walk to campus.

The location is very convenient - in Union Square - so you can take pretty much any train and it’s only a 10-15 min walk from campus. There is a dining hall, gym, and nice study lounges inside the building, so on lazy days you don’t even need to go outside (there’s also a Trader Joe’s next door and the BEST halal cart right outside). The bedrooms are on the smaller side, but the common area is spacious and there is a kitchen, so you can cook if you want. The bathroom is not the nicest, and the shower molds easily, but that and the room size are basically the only cons.

Rooms and bathrooms are pretty standard in size and look. Kitchen is good-sized and the appliances all worked fine. Amazing location with Trader Joe's literally right downstairs, plus the new Zero Irving food court. About 10-15 minute walk to campus. Super convenient to have gym, laundry room, and dining hall all right in the building, plus tons of study rooms. Make sure to hit Pally brunch if you live there, it's life-changing!
