Some are -- I'm guessing because it's difficult to find buildings NYU can use as dorms around the main campus area -- but some (Weinstein, Goddard, and Hayden) are practically right on top of the campus. Yeah, the freshman dorms are all pretty much a 10-minute walk or less from campus, but everything else is kind of spread out. Generally, the further you go from campus, the nicer the dorms are (with the infamous 26th Street being the main exception to that rule).
Yeah, I can't cook for my life either. It's a combination of general disinterest in cooking and laziness. Any time my mom isn't home for dinner, I automatically order sushi or a pizza. You're already thinking like a New Yorker!

Seriously, the phone is the most important food-related appliance in the kitchen. I can do some basic cooking, but why should I when there are so many good restaurants nearby?
"There was this one time an alarm went off - it was in the middle of '24.' That's just wrong. Everyone knows everyone was watching '24' at that time."
