Lipton Hall is the epitome of an ideal freshman dorm at NYU, standing out for its unbeatable location right by Washington Square Park. Students rave about the spacious rooms with impressive views, such as of the Empire State Building, making it a dream living experience. The convenience of having a dining hall on-site is a major plus, although some mention the absence of individual kitchens. The dorm boasts a well-maintained building with communal spaces like lounges, a meditation room, and even resident Corgis for added charm. Its proximity to classes and various amenities, including study rooms and a dance room, enhances the overall appeal of Lipton Hall. While some found it less social, the overall consensus is overwhelmingly positive, recommending it as the top choice for incoming freshmen looking for a comfortable and convenient campus dwelling.

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 ...

Lived in a single room
Fantastic location, next to literally hundred restaurants and small business. Building is well maintained and most rooms are spacious with wide windows that open and allow the breeze in. Very nice view of the park as well as quick walks to class.
Lived in a triple room
Dining hall in the building is good. It’s clean and sterile. There’s AC as well. The rooms are pretty good. It’s a pretty solid dorm. Very close to classes and the park is right there.

Close to the campus, the dormitory is equipped with a dining hall that is vegetarian-friendly compared to other dining halls. Downstairs is Washington square park, five minutes from the library. But there is no kitchen in the dormitory, and if you are lucky you can get a large room
Lived in a double room
I loved living in Lipton Hall as a freshman. My window overlooked Washington Sq. Park and the live jazz music truly made living in Lipton a memorable experience.

Best location!! One of the cleaner dorms. The dining hall is convenient and the rooms have great views.
Lived in a double room
Newer dorm (renovated for incoming Freshman class in 2015) located right on WSP. I was one of the lucky ones who lived there when they first opened it to students after the renovation. Everything was brand new, with dark wood floors, clean white walls, and insta-worthy windows. My view was of the Em...
Lived in a triple room
Only issue is the random roommate pool, which affects all freshman dorms. I drew the short straw and ended up with some really disrespectful roommates so I spent almost no time in my actual room, but the building really made up for it. The dorm itself is great. Really good location, near classes bu...
