<p>LOL. I can’t believe students are picking colleges based on bathrooms! NYC has a lot of old buildings and dorms and apartments are both going to have the same issues. Plumbing, mice, roaches, creaky elevators or Fifth Floor walk ups. A two bedroom apartment in Harlem with old kitchen and one ancient bathroom will be $1800 and up. (However Harlem has incredibly beautiful old buildings and a lot of charm. Just very far uptown). Unless the student or graduate has a lot of money to spend on high end housing they will only be postponing the inevitable if they someday want to live and perform in NYC. The city is exciting and dynamic but also very expensive, smelly and crowded. Young performers crowd into crazy small spaces…Railroad apartments, no closets, tiny kitchens and a climate that is less than ideal. I am always amazed at the influx of young hopefuls moving into the city and admire them for their perseverance and determination. Not for the faint of heart! Feel free to PM me for more info. </p>
