<p>I have to strongly agree with StrangeLight. New York is heinously expensive. I’ve lived here for two years now, and I swear it has its own monetary system. (Can’t wait to go to DC!) Grad school housing at Columbia may be cheap (and cheap in New York is less than $1500/month) but food is still incredibly expensive, as is going out. Random fact: a watermelon is $10. Anywhere else in the country, it’s probably $4. Multiply this across every item of food you buy, every drink at a bar, every movie ticket…you get the idea. NOT a cheap city. But it’s still the center of the universe! :)</p>
<p>So now that we agree that NYC is overpriced, does anyone think Georgetown MSFS is, too? ;)</p>
