MANHATTAN — It will be the suite life for several dozen NYU students this fall.
Roughly 50 returning students will live in a hotel for a few months, instead of dorm rooms, due to overcrowding, the New York Post reported.
The students, who will live two to a room, won't have all the typical hotel amenities, no minibar or room service, but they will get housekeeping, phone, Internet and cable, according to the paper.
The university was forced to find other accommodations after an increased number of incoming freshmen decided to attend. The rooms will be used for returning students who didn't secure a four-year housing plan as freshmen, according to the Post.
The hotel rooms will cost students the same as a dorm room, roughly $13,000 a year, according to the Post. NYU hopes to use the hotel rooms for only a few months as they sort out housing arrangements.
