<p>I really wanted to go to one of the CUNYs, but since they’re all commuter campuses, I worry about finding an apartment. Agh, but the CUNYs ARE much cheaper. :l. I don’t think the cost of an apartment would necessarily kill me, since the tuition would be so much cheaper. Not to mention I could actually be IN NYC.</p>
<p>But it all depends on if I can find an apartment, and I don’t know how the housing market’ll be come next fall. And finding an affordable place isn’t necessarily going to be easy at any point; it’s NY. There’s some places that are cheaper than here in Los Angeles though, so…there’s always hope?
Anyone happen to know of an affordable neighborhood?
I heard Sunnyside in Queens is alright…and also that Harlem’s been improving rather a lot? I used to live in East LA, so I guess my perception of “safe neighborhood” can run a bit broader…</p>
<p>(I know this isn’t really the right place to ask, but…if anyone can help, I’d bake a cake in your honour).</p>
<p>Also…St. John’s looks cool. They wrote to me recently and offered a free application! I think I’ll apply. Thank you for the reminder/advice. :).</p>
