<p>My son and two of his friends have decided not to live in the dorms during their sophomore year. They did not sign up for NYU housing and have met with a few real estate agents.</p>
<p>Any advice for the boys? How about for parents?</p>

<p>Just make sure that any scholarships and grants wont be affected by going off campus.</p>
<p>There’s a dedicated NYU Office of Off-Campus Housing. You can or go on their website and see if they have any leads for reliable brokers or tips on apartment hunting. </p>

<p>Hey chinablue,</p>
<p>I’m currently a junior at NYU and moved off-campus this year. Without a doubt, it is a better choice both $$ wise and convenience wise. Places I recommend looking for housing are Stuyvesant Town, and in the Lower East Side.</p>
<p>Thank you so much for the information. I will pass it on to my son.</p>
<p>Our daughter and her friends used craigslist to find an apartment in the East Village. The cost is about the same. They’re three blocks east of where they were in Third North.</p>
