“I had a very positive experience with my mentor and I am truly grateful for the time, support, and guidance they provided throughout our sessions. From the very beginning, my mentor was extremely kind, approachable, and available, which made it easy to communicate openly, ask questions, and discuss both my goals and uncertainties about the next steps in my career.
One of the most valuable parts of the mentoring experience was the work we did together on my LinkedIn profile. We essentially rebuilt and improved it from scratch, carefully going through my previous experiences, skills, and achievements and discussing how to present them in a clearer and more effective way. My mentor helped me understand how important it is to have a strong and well-structured LinkedIn profile and how to use it to communicate my strengths, professional interests, and career goals. The feedback and practical suggestions I received were extremely useful, and I now feel much more confident about how I present myself professionally online.
Beyond my LinkedIn profile, I particularly appreciated the practical tips and honest advice my mentor shared with me about how to approach the next steps in my career. The guidance was not limited to improving my online presence, but also helped me think more strategically about where I want to go and how I can get there. I received valuable suggestions on how to position myself, what aspects of my profile to focus on, and how to approach future opportunities more effectively.
Another aspect I appreciated was my mentor’s willingness to listen and adapt the conversations to my specific needs. I never felt that the sessions were generic or simply followed a predefined structure. Instead, the discussions were tailored to my situation, which made the advice much more relevant and actionable. My mentor was patient when explaining things, encouraging when I had doubts, and constructive when pointing out areas where I could improve.
Overall, this mentoring experience gave me both practical tools and greater confidence in taking the next steps in my professional journey. I came away with a significantly improved LinkedIn profile, a clearer understanding of how to communicate my experience and strengths, and a better idea of how to approach my future career development.
I would definitely recommend this mentor to anyone looking for someone who is supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping others grow. Their kindness, availability, and practical approach made the experience extremely valuable, and I am very grateful for all the time and effort they dedicated to helping me.”
NYU housing blows dick. Better off finding something on your own. Cheaper and better quality.
dont BBs reserve rooms for SAs? So it may not be so random
Anyone need a roommate? My first preference will be apartment in Union Square area.
Possibly.. what's it like living with you?
^ Anyone seriously looking for a roommate on WSO is a fuckin weirdo
The start date for my internship is June 10th, and lasts the typical 10 weeks. This means that I'll need housing until August 17th. NYU's last move-out date is August 10th. Any thoughts on what to do?
I'm sure Will Hunting is right in saying that NYU housing is not the best living accommodations and certainly not the best bang for your buck, but I don't think that you can easily beat the convenience that student housing presents.
Here's some short term housing options. I don't know about the quality or location of any of these though.

Bump. Has anyone heard back from NYU regarding summer housing?
The housing deposit is fully refundable if you reject their housing offer right?
Nope, the most you'll get back is $375 -- less depending on how late you cancel.
I'm assuming they refund the full amount if they can't offer a spot? I only chose one option as a preference and would pretty much take any building they gave me from that option so I'm only worried about not getting a spot at all.
Just heard back. Got Coral Towers.
Did you send in your application the day it came out and did they contact you through email?
Yea, sent it in the day it came out and they emailed me today.
Just heard back today, I got Lafayette single. It's 20 minutes away from where I work in midtown (taking subway). Do you think it's kinda too far away? Any insight would be appreciated.
20 minute commute is bangin', though it'll probably end up being longer than that. Laf is nicer than people pretend it is. Location's just okay in terms of going out and stuff, but the ceilings are really high, the rooms are decent-sized, and it's pretty clean.
It also feels less like a dorm than some other NYU dorms (Third North, Palladium).
When did you apply? I applied during the first week of March and am still awaiting a response.
I applied at the end of February but I didn't pay the deposit until the first week of March, so it's about the same time as yours. They said it should take 4-6 weeks maximum. Have you tried to call them?
anyone know anything about d'agostino
Anyone who got Rubin/Brittany, I feel for you. Good luck w/o A/C in the NYC summers.
Just got a Second Street single studio. Not sure if I should be happy that I have privacy or sad that I won't have roommates to hang with
I have a 2nd St Studio. Will knock on your wall at 3AM.
Finally got my assignment: 400 Broome Street. Anyone familiar with the area?
This is probably the best guide to the dorms I've seen: http://nyulocal.com/tag/guide-to-nyu-dorms-2011/
I don't think they have all of them, but what they do have is spot-on.
Thanks for this
