Horrible experience
Hannah H
United States, Undergraduate
, 2024
Overall
Every single person who works for NYU housing (and Brittany hall, to be specific) is rude and incompetent at their job. When I initially called NYU for housing, I was hung up on three different times by the same telephone worker. I was also told that I wouldn't be able to move in until a week after I was originally told I could move in (resolved but extremely stressful and time consuming as I had to search for alternate expensive housing options). Upon arriving at Brittany, I was roomed with a male (as a female and having put my preference in as female) (again resolved but anxiety-inducing). The upstairs study room is closed permanently for the summer, leaving few spaces to go to relax. My now roommate had no idea I was moving in, and neither of us had any idea we were going to get one more roommate a week later. Staff members, even though there are multiple still at the desk and working, rudely and with an attitude will refuse to get your package after hours. I would recommend NYU dorms to no one; almost every experience I have had has been terrible, and it has only been three weeks.

Take your time to choose the courses you are going to attend to. There are too many, and it is difficult to make up your mind.

Personal comments
Do not take more than 5 courses per semester, as it would really disminuish your leisure time to enjoy the city. Besides that, learn and have fun.

It was simply great. I was living in my own apartment at Wall Street area, and withing a resident hall, so I had all the advantages of living with other international students.

Personal recommendation
Like for most things in NYC, you need to be a go-and-getter. Don't expect that the University will cater to you, you need to make things happen for yourself (jobs, apartment etc.).
