Are you worried about being in such a large city at a young age without family to guide you?

I wouldn’t worry about that if I were you. I live 20 min from NYC (1 hour by bus) and frequently travel there on weekends. I’m 17 and I sometimes take my sister who is 15. Occasionally, she goes withe friends her age. I would say that NY isn’t really scary at all as long as you don’t stray too much. I’ve visited NYU and the campus seems pretty safe if that’s your primary concern…
