Hey everyone, I’m living in NYU Second Street and I’m wondering if my AC is unusually loud or if this is normal for the building.
I previously lived in Lipton Hall, and the AC there was definitely audible, but it sounded more like a small river flowing — just a steady, relaxing airflow sound.
My AC in Second Street is completely different. It sounds like a wild river and I’m sitting in a kayak. It’s loud enough that I find it pretty irritating, especially when I’m trying to sleep or study.
For anyone who lives/lived in Second Street:
Is your AC also this loud?
Does it sound like a strong rushing/roaring noise?
Or is mine possibly malfunctioning and needs maintenance?
I’d really appreciate it if someone with a Second Street room could let me know what their AC sounds like.

Hi everyone,
I’m an NYU Tandon undergraduate who started in Spring 2026. I completed Spring 2026 and Summer 2026, and I’m now starting Fall 2026 under a new 2026–27 housing contract.
I currently live in Second Street, in an Efficient Double Studio. My room has a kitchen, sink, refrigerator, and everything I need to cook, so I don’t really need a meal plan.
I as a Spring 2026 student, or can I cancel it because I am living in an apartment-style Second Street room?
Also, if I am allowed to cancel it, would the meal-plan amount simply become part of my additional financial-aid refund?
If anyone was a Spring 2026 NYU student and has dealt with this going into Fall 2026, I’d really appreciate hearing what happened.
Thanks!

Can someone give me the list where i can find the category of each dorm. In the floor plan I can only find the layout but not the type of the dorm. It would be really helpful. I appreciate it. If not, someone please tell me the type of second street’s first floor dorms: 0101 and 0102 …. What are these dorm’s type?

Hi! I got approved for a efficient double studio in Second Street and was wondering if anyone has a photo/photos of this same kind of room that I can see? There's only a handful of videos online and I'm struggling to get a sense of the size. It would be better if you provide the picture of 1st floor’s efficient double studio. My room is around the corner. Thanks!
