Dylan

I must've misinterpreted Dylan being dirty for the reason of the move, so I thought you'd be staying around New York university, but apparently that was not the case.

Please proofread for me.

Thank you.

Yes, your original sentence is incorrect, both grammatically and semantically, since I did not understand what you were trying to say. Use this, then:

I must've misinterpreted Dylan's being dirty as the cause of the move, so I thought you'd be staying around New York University, but apparently that was not the case.
