| I remember when my D lived in the dorms (in Union Square) for two years and she also said that may be the last time she can afford to live in such a location. She just got an apartment for next year (but starts renting it this summer and her sister is going to live in it and pay for those months since she has an internship in NYC for the summer) and she insisted on Brooklyn and one reason (but not her only one) was that it was cheaper, even though I am willing to pay for whatever the NYU dorms cost for an apartment in the village...but she says that once she graduates in another year, that since she has to pay herself for rent at that point, that it made sense for her to start renting now in Brooklyn and she could opt to stay on there. It is cheaper. I guess I should not complain as she is saving us a bunch next year but it was her idea, not ours. (she won't be having a maid!!...but will have a dishwasher) |
