Which NYU Residence Hall Best Suits You?

You're all about keeping your own space, so Alumni Hall is perfect for you! Each room in Alumni is made up of single bedrooms in a shared suite with a kitchen and common space. And when you think it can't get any better, at 3rd Ave. and 9th St., Alumni is just a few minutes from campus!

You're in a very transitional period of your life, and Coral is perfect for you to figure out how to "adult." Coral was originally built as an apartment building, so there's much less of that dorm-vibe you'll find at other residence halls. The rooms have lovely windows and large kitchens so you can start learning to cook more than instant ramen. Plus, if you run out of groceries, there's a 24-hour Duane Reade downstairs.

Music and entertainment is your thing, so Second Street is your jam! Located only five blocks from the Bowery Ballroom and surrounded by the vibrant night-life of the East Village and the Bowery. You'll always find something cool to do on a Friday night.

Your biggest priority is convenience, and gosh is Palladium convenient. With a gym AND a dining hall, you can spend all weekend without even leaving the building. Palladium houses over 900 students, with plenty of exploration floors too. Plus, closer proximity to Sunday brunch is never a bad thing!

For you, academics are key, and with the Residential College at Broome Street, you can live and learn with a tight knit community of people just like you! Broome Street is in the hip neighborhood of SoHo, so whether you're into fashion or food, you'll always find something fun to do nearby. Though the concept of a Residential College might sound intimidating, the events are great—from lectures on Batman to kayaking on the Hudson. If you're ready to try new things and meet new friends, Broome is the place for you!

You are always looking for something fun to do, and with Carlyle's great location on Union Square, you'll learn why they call New York "the city that never sleeps." Want fresh produce? The Union Square Greenmarket is right outside your door! During the holiday season, you can drink hot cocoa and watch the festivities at the Union Square Holiday Market.

Like Gramercy Green, you care about the finer things in life. Gramercy comes with incredible kitchens—dishwashers, marble countertops, and touch-screen microwaves, oh my! Gram also has its own small fitness center, so you can work off all that food you make in your beautiful kitchen. You want glam? Go to Gram!

You love your food, and Lafayette Hall's incredible location near Chinatown and Little Italy will give you so many options. The rooms themselves are beautiful, with wooden floors and huge windows. Pro tip: get in the right room and you'll have a view of uptown that'll stun your guests.
