<p>does anyone know if there is a best buy near that part of NYC or within a reasonable transportation distance since Best Buy sometimes can transfer employees from one store to another.</p>
<p>im sure there is. go on the best buy website and check their store locations through the zipcode search. there is everything in the city</p>
<p>well its 1/2 a mile away which is pretty close, but im sure its hard as hell to get transfered to a big city like that.</p>
<p>good luck though!! :)</p>
<p>i'm sure tons of shifts and employees. u should get a transfer, even if you don't, there is no scarcity of jobs available, so why just Best Buy?</p>
<p>well i just thought it would be hard to get a job in NYC since there are so many young people...and i knew best buy had the transfer policy</p>
<p>yes best buy is near. it's on the nyu bulletin...under admitted students or something</p>
<p>I think the parent of one of our undergraduate students addressed this question best when they said the following:</p>
<p>"You know, some people are perfectly happy with just a regular cup of coffee every day that they can get from the coffee cart on their way to class for 50 cents. My son Brandon, however, could not live if he did not have his grande double mochachino every morning."</p>
<p>I love this quote because it illustrates that what you will spend in New York City in a week is completely subjective to your own individual preferences. (On the other hand, as a young professional working in NYC I spend about $125 a week including things like dry-cleaning, a montly metro-card, business attire, concerts, dining-out, etc. I'd be incredibly curious to know what a 17 year old is spending $125 a week on if someone nearly twice their age can live on that per week.)</p>
<p>A lot of "good jobs" for students start at $10/hr, and it goes up from there depending on the field, your experience, etc. Keep that in mind when considering working. :D</p>
<p>There is a Best Buy within walking distance of campus. It's on Broadway.</p>
<p>Where do most students work? Are they on-campus work study jobs, paid internships, or more of the typical fast food and Gap jobs?</p>
<p>Does the NYU UGadmissions have a recommendation? Is it a bad idea to work the first semester? I was just going to work really hard all summer and save my money so I can chill for a while. (although I spent over $500 on concert tickets for the summer...I'll start saving later)</p>
<p>Dear NYU Undergrad Rep:</p>
<p>As an international student, I know that I cannot work the first year. However, is there a possibility of working at the undergraduate admisisons office? i am really interested in working there...</p>
<p>My daughter is a Junior and she gets $200.00 a month for miscellaneous expenses.</p>
<p>VivianH - Working during your first year/semester is, of course, a very individual choice. I think, however, that most of our students find having a part-time job to be very manageable. Most students who work on-campus work an average of 10 hours per work. Considering your courses are usually only once or twice a week,that definitely leaves time for both work and studying and socializing. I am an NYU grad and I worked every semester that I was here (including those semesters when I was also working at an internship.) But, I also worked my junior and senior years in high school so I also feel that I had learned how to balance school and a part-time work schedule.</p>
<p>Students work at all kinds of jobs, though many students choose to work on-campus. Usually students take internships for course credit, but sometimes students will intern for pay. For instance, the Stern School only allows their students to have paid internships (guess that's a business school for ya!)</p>
<p>jhpark - Each year our office hires Admission Ambassadors and the application and selection process usually occurs in November and first-year students begin their training in our office during the spring semester. The number of students we hire each year depends on the number of graduating seniors we have. Thanks for your interest!</p>
<p>How does work study work? Does the student get paid, or does it go directly to the bursar towards tuition?</p>
<p>it gets paid biweekly directly to the student (i know for sure bc thats what they told us when we met with a fin aid officer at nyu last weekend). i know personally i plan on using the money for living expenses, or saving it for future needs.</p>
