Hello Mim and many would be NYC uni students or New Yorkers,
Doesn't matter which university you are heading to, we are in this together as TM-ians. All are welcomed.
Currently my budget hovers between 600 to 1000 USD for housing. I hear that one can get USD400 :hmm: . I have no idea as to how to go about dealing with the owners. Do we have to get a broker? Is there a 'how to' guide? New Yorkers please advice.
What is a realistic estimate for food? If I can get a studio, then I can effectively save on that. And I hear Chinese and Malaysian foods are relatively cheap. Problem is, don't know how cheap. I am in the midst of collating data for my budget.
What is a realistic per diem estimate?
Location-wise: I've been told to avoid the Bronx, safety is a big issue if you have classes in the evening. And to look at places between Queens and Brooklyn.
Looking forward to more responses.
