| What year is she in? Funny you mention this. My D is a junior right now and lives at an apartment off campus but the set up she has is an unusual situation. She lives in Nolita. Next year, she is getting a new apartment (hasn't gotten yet) with a different roommate who graduated CAP21 in 2007 (whom she has known for many years prior to college). The roomie obviously is no longer in college. I was hoping my D would still live close to NYU but she tells me she is going to get an apartment in Brooklyn and is adamant about that. Apparently a lot of students do live in Brooklyn. She says it is just a few stops on the subway. I mentioned her very late night rehearsals she seems to have every night but she says that she already has to walk far or take a subway and so this is not going to be that different and that everyone does it. So, what can I say but that my D is in the same situation. They have not begun to look yet because my D has other FREE housing this summer in NYC and so it is early yet I think to line up an apartment for the next school year the way the listings go. I suppose they will look when she is there this summer. Maybe we can be in touch and compare notes as that is how far it has gotten with my kid.
PS...Brooklyn IS less expensive and you get more for the money (she told me all this and in fact, I looked up listings, for example on Craigslist and it is quite true). |
