<p>My B,
I assumed you meant manhattan, not all of nyc.
Brooklyn isn't a bad place to live, parts of brooklyn, queens, and the bronx seem like you are very far away from city life.
Maybe request an admissions package anyway, just to see if you like what they offer. Or apply, the application deadline is October 1st for the spring semester... if accepted, you could start your new life in about 12 weeks. :)</p>
