NYU Housing can shove it

I just saw my housing assignment on the website. Requested singles...a/c or not, and I got a double/triple.

What should I do?

not much you can do. If

not much you can do. If memory serves you can still get your money back if you want from NYU at this point. You can then go search for your own place, but singles for a reasonable price are really hard to find. From what I have been told, NYU doesn't have very many singles to offer, they just don't advertise that fact.

I don't think anyone that

I don't think anyone that does not attend NYU got a single this year. You just have to hope the people you are assigned to live with are not too poor.

Seriously? Dude suck it up

Seriously? Dude suck it up and take the double / triple. Stop whining on a public forum. Jesus Christ you'll never be there and some social interaction would clearly do you some good.

That's why it's called a request. I'm sure they did their best to accomodate everyone, and there weren't enough singles to go around.

I know Fordham also does

I know Fordham also does summer housing, but you have to do some school credit there i think.

There's also the School for

There's also the School for Visual Arts. Otherwise, suck it up. I was a banking summer, lived in a room with 2 traders who were waking up and leaving about an hour and a half after I got home every day, and I survived.

And who cares if they're poor? Not like you're going to pimp out your pad for all of 10 weeks to spend all your non-existent free time at, and you don't have to worry about collecting the rent from them.

If they're poor, they are

If they're poor, they are more likely to do drugs in the room, urinate on the toilet seat, play loud music at night, etc.

OMEGA THATS IT, I HAVE KEPT

OMEGA THATS IT, I HAVE KEPT MY MOUTH SHUT BUT NO LONGER. THAT COMMENT IS SO STEREOTYPICAL AND UNFAIR JUDGING PEOPLE BASED ON HOW MUCH MONEY THEY HAVE. THERE IS A REASON YOU DO NOT HAVE AN OFFER YET, DOUCHEBAG!

Below is some more of your silly banter i have dealt with unspoken

"I just don't like being led on by secretaries in HR. The woman asked me absolutely nothing technical during the interview and seemed very positive following it, so I don't know how she can decide who to move on.

She called me last evening saying: Hi, this is --- from Citi, do you have a moment to speak, then finally told me that I had been dinged. Too bad I don't have connections at this bank or I wouldn't tolerate HR bullshit.

Why would a bank hire candidates based on whether a secretary likes their personalities?

But isn't the equivalent of taking my maid and asking her to hire ibankers? Actually, I think my maid makes more..."

You may be able to buy a maid, but you cant buy class and that is obvious because you have none!

Congratulations you have

Congratulations you have been fucked in the ass by NYU summer housing. You have been assigned a non air conditioned double tripple where you will be permitted to sweat your balls off.

Yeah fuck that.

You can switch

I am an NYU student who lived in summer housing two years ago. One of my roommates had an internship at NYMEX. After three weeks or so he got a single at 26th street.
