Kerry Hall Dorm Reviews at New School

Because it's right above the university center and right across from the other new school buildings, it's the perfect place to dorm. The key cards to get in and out of the UC and your own room are super convenient and is an added level of safety.

This place is perfect for transfer students who are not yet used to the city. Everything is closer to the university and the environment feels safe and friendly. The areas inside the dorm are well thought, it gives privacy to the students but also gives access to socializing.

I would say that I have enjoyed my stay at Kerrey Hall for the 8 months I have been here! From what I've heard, it's the nicest campus out of the three that 'The New School' has. The staff are always helpful and the hallways are always clean and never usually smell bad. A lot of students cook in the suites and it permeates a subtle good scent through the halls making it quite pleasant and homely when you enter or leave the residence halls. It's also very quiet and I rarely hear any noise that comes from the hallway when I go to sleep or wake up in my dorm. Speaking of suites and dorms, they are very spacious and comfortable to get situated in. Oh and did I mention that it's situated in Greenwich Village, making it easy to get to Union Square station and traverse the city to enjoy everything New York has to offer. Only negative would be that it tends to be quite expensive to live here since it's one of the nicest residences halls. Overall, Kerrey Hall is an exquisite place to live if you wish to explore and thrive in New York during your college years!

Quiet, great location albeit expensive. Maintenance was quick to respond when our sink fell out of the counter. The rooms are small and 4 people have to share one bathroom, which can be difficult at times. Overall worth it for the location and quick elevator ride to classes/cafeteria. There's a small gym in the basement and laundry.

Kerrey Hall is fairly high-end for a college dorm. Though that can be said about many New York dorms, the aesthetic quality of Kerrey surpasses even some of the best in the area. I like the way each floor is designed with a different color in mind. Inside the suites, I think things are set up really sensibly. The windows allow you to have at least one nice view. The bathrooms, though really nice in theory, often need some type of repair as soon as you arrive. For my first semester, toothbrushes kept coming up the toilet drain. The shower handle is also easily turned out of place. In the kitchen, space is scarce, but it's not that bad. Still, the size of the sink and the water pressure make washing dishes a nuisance.

I love Kerry. It is in a really busy area but manages to be clean and beautiful. The dorms in Kerry have sinks and fridges so that you can cook for yourself, which a lot of college students do not get to experience. Overall, I think that Kerry is good at prepping someone for being an adult.

I really enjoyed my school year at Kerry Hall. The building felt very well-maintained and the location was amazing. It was so nice to be able to walk to the Union Square farmers market for groceries and to be so close to school. The common areas and gym on the lower level are great and very accessible to all residents. My only complaint is the size of the rooms. Kerry Hall rooms are the smallest dorm rooms I've ever stayed in. Your bed is very close to your Roomate's. It's all worth it though for the amazing location.
