Why did my landlord insist on getting deposit/first month's rent in bank check?

Move in is in 2 weeks. They asked for bank check today (instead of check). I can imagine since they have a lot of demand for apartments in NYC they want to make sure my money is good before giving me the lease. But I am just wondering if it's standard practice.

I'm going to be moving into a dorm in the fall. Is there anything that people often overlook, or some good general tips that they don't tell you (besides leave your door open hurrr)?

In addition, laptop not desktop if you can afford it.

Depending on what you're studying (even the most irrelevant fields) you might want to bring a suit. Presentations, formal events, etc.

Where's the best place to get renter's insurance? Do I have to work with the landlord for that? What if I'm reasonably sure the place will not burn down since it's a sturdy building?

Thanks for the info. I already had a fire in my current building so that's scared me enough. I can afford the $100 to protect my things.
