Founders Hall NYU Reviews

founders hall is really spacious and has great common areas for studying/lounging. i actually love the location as it's right near union square and there's a trader joes near by.

Overall, based on the available information, I would give NYU Founders Hall dorm a rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars. While the dorm offers many amenities and is conveniently located, the high cost and potential for noise and crowding may detract from the overall experience.

Founders has the biggest rooms of any freshman dorm on campus. Lots of natural light because of the large windows and a really spacious closet. Don’t let the “distance” from campus fool you. It’s a great way to actually acclimate yourself to NYC. The PSOs and building staff are so incredibly awesome... See more

The rooms are super big and spacious and the natural light coming in from the windows makes it seem even larger during the day. There’s a lot of space between the two beds, so if you don’t get along with your roommate, there is definitely enough room for you to feel like you have your own space. The... See more
