Weinstein Hall — Local services in New York

Would not recommend it for those looking for summer housing.

The dining plan is a rip-off and food is mediocre for the price paid. The "dining dollars" is a giant scam, they essentially force you to spend the cumulative $30+ a week, but the store is so heavily marked up that you are far better off going to the local grocery store or Amazon, but you are already charged that amount as apart of the contract.

I am all for security, however the guest policy implementation is a mess. Every time I bring a guest through it is unnecessarily complex and inconsistent.

Don't expect to have a comfortable place to WFH. The desk chairs are too low for the desk and the "motion" lights require you to hilariously jump up and wave every 10 or so minutes to keep the lights on.

All in all, for the price paid, I would especially avoid this sort of summer housing where a meal plan is included, and would stay away from NYU Summer housing due to the other...

Sure the rooms are small, there’s not really a view, and the West hall is rumored to have rats and cockroaches, but if you get the East hall, you won’t have pest problems! Plus it’s close to classes and has 4 different food places so it’s really an 11/10 for convenience. There’s great AC and heating, and though the rooms are small it’s not like you really need a large room anyways, especially since the larger the room the more annoying to clean. Also what do you even need a view for? It’s pretty useless and if you want a view just go to Bobst or Paulson or something. If you prioritize convenience (like I majorly did), this is the dorm for you. The security can be kinda rude but almost all of them are...
