NYU dorms — like NYU itself — got a lot more luxurious in the years since I was a student there.

I considered myself very lucky to live in a single on Washington Square West during my senior year. Even then I knew I’d never be able to afford an apartment with that kind of view once I graduated into the real world.

Enjoy it while you can, kids! NYU is a pretty wonderful place to spend four years.
