Finding an Apartment
Comfortable, safe housing is an important aspect of your stay in the New York City area. Finding a suitable place to live can be a challenge. Residential hotels, a room in a private home, or a shared apartment with another student, are all alternatives to looking for an apartment by yourself. Here are some points to consider before you begin your search for housing:
- How much can you afford to pay? Determine a monthly budget for yourself before you go looking for housing, so that you know exactly how much you can spend.
- How far away from school are you willing to live? Residential housing might be limited in the New York City area. Your rent could be considerably lower if you are willing to commute a distance. Neighborhoods such as Astoria in Queens are generally safe, comfortable areas with lower rents and excellent access to subways. Commuting is a way of life for many New Yorkers.
- How much space do you need? Assess your possessions and your lifestyle, and try to decide what size space would be best for you. A one room (studio) apartment may be suitable for one person, but two people living in such close quarters may find the situation unmanageable.
