Aww, too bad for them that they have to share their living quarters while institutionalized at Purple Nation. I guess mommy and daddy can't afford a $2100/mo quiet apt., or unlucky to not be housed in a $300/night hotel.

Ain't no nothing unusual for NYU students to subject themselves to be profiled by NYT.

But whatevs, NYU homeys, when y'all graduate, you'd still be living in a commune, bruh, sistah, hakuna matata. Share this!

The 3 bedroom that the NYU first kids shared was one of Icon's illegal hotel rooms, which eventually was legally rented as an apt. 2 of the 3 bedrooms were windowless closets. While IT were being built, the entire building went through every cliche construction nightmare you can imagine. They were also noisy inconsiderate neighbors. Poor them.
