<p>Argh I really want to get in!!! My parents have already agreed to a $2000/month studio in the UWS if I am accepted. I’ll murder someone if I have to!</p>
<p>Vihzel: dope! My dad agreed to the same thing if I got in. But I’m looking in uws ues and chelsea.</p>
<p>I’m not much for watching professional soccer but I play a lot of it. Local summer league is starting soon, can’t wait</p>
<p>DAMN bojangles!!! i checked my email about 5 minutes ago, and i had one from NYU. but it wasnt a decision -___________________________________- stupid aksjldkfjas;ldkfj</p>
<p>I want to go to medical school (very expensive), so I don’t even know why I bother with NYU. I don’t want to have too much debt by the time I get into medical school. Otherwise, I’ll be drowning in debt for the rest of my life. Anyway, I must go study for my lab practical…</p>
<p>@Vihzel: Why a studio apartment? Why not live on-campus?</p>
<p>@Vihzel & @reneyney–> See, I want to eventually live off campus (would love to if I could figure out how I could for the spring semster of next year), but I want to make friends within my dorms and have that experience in the city too. I also don’t want to live in a studio or in the city alone. That seems pretty, well, lame to be alone. I would want to live off-campus in a decent sized place with a few other people. If I could get that, I would do it for the fall, but I couldn’t do it alone. </p>
<p>@Coolio –> Alright, alright, we can be civil. 
haha</p>
<p>@giantmidget –> My best friend has been obsessed with Man U for years. We saw Man U play against Philly’s Union a while ago just because Man U was there.</p>
<p>@Lauren229 Maybe if we all end up in NYC, or even going to NYU, we can be roommates. lol. I must agree a studio apartment is lame. I think a lot of non-NYers build NYC up to be greater than it is, so they spend a lot of money on apartments not worth it.</p>
<p>@bellatheball –> Exactly.</p>
<p>We should, haha. Living with other friends/ people with similar interests would change my mind drastically. Besides, spending $2,000 to live alone? That would be depressing and isolating to me. I mean, I would love my own room, but not my own place… Not in the city. Besides, living off campus tends to be less expensive if you have enough roomies in the same place… I would hate to spend more and not get everything I’d want.</p>
<p>Oh well, to each their own… Now, if only they’d sent out my decision already!</p>
<p>I’m not living in a dorm again because I’m so used to living in an apartment. I hated living in a dorm when I first went to college… so I definitely wouldn’t want to do it again. I’m a very independent person and love my personal space. The reason why I’m living by myself at first is because I simply don’t know anybody there. My cousin (who lived in studios and 1br for 7 years) recommended that I get my own place at first and then during the first year find a suitable roommate that I know I can get along with to potentially get a 2br with. I’ve had 5 different roommates (all random) and 4/5 were crap roommates, so I’m definitely not going in blind again. I could definitely find a great place in Chelsea with a roommate for $4000/month but prefer to live by myself. I’ve always wanted to feel what it’s like to be like a full New Yorker and not always be tied to roommates… this is my chance. :)</p>
<p>I’ve had two awful experiences with roommates so far in college. The first one was a complete druggie, the second was a complete loser. But there’s no way I’ll have enough for an apartment, so yay for dorms! hahaha</p>
<p>i def want “on campus” housing, and then im gonna apply to be an RA my senior year and hopefully save some moneyyy</p>
<p>WILL THIS WEEK BE THE WEEK!?</p>
<p>I’m definitely not looking forward to going in blind, but, unfortunately, dorms are one of the easiest ways to assimilate yourself with portions of the student body. </p>
<p>I definitely do want to only be in them for a semester, though. Then, apartment with one or two other roommates at a decent price. I’d truly prefer to not do the dorms at all, buuuutttt, it would probably makes things easiest for the first semester.</p>
<p>Everything that vihzel said. But for me it’s more that I’m independent and I need my personal space. I’m very social so meeting people is no biggie for me. I’m excited to have my own apartment in NYC.</p>
<p>@Reneyney14 –> I totally get that and I hope your apartment is awesome. I just don’t know how comfortable I, personally, would be living in Manhattan alone. Staten Island? Sure. Brooklyn? Hell yes. Manhattan? Eh. And then the price gets me… It isn’t worth the cost of living alone just for the zip code (not for me at least). I already have a nice zip code at my house. But! Personal space is a big deal, no question. I don’t want to share a room. I’ve lived with friends before in separate rooms in an apartment and it was perfect. Alone, it got a bit more lonely for me. It’s cool having people around to do random things with at 3 in the morning if you want without having them be 6,7,8, etc. blocks away or purposely staying over… </p>
<p>I don’t know… I am rambling now a pointless idea because of lack of sleep. Sorry, haha.</p>
<p>@Lauren229 I totally agree! I feel like I need at least a semester of living in a dorm to get to know the people, and then I’ll probably move out. </p>
<p>I hate to live in a dorm, my current roommate is driving me crazy.</p>
<p>You guys will be better off if you look for apartments in winter because apartments tend to be cheaper and if you go through a broker, the broker fee is more negotiable. I’m going apartment hunting this early June if I get accepted and it’s going to be crazy fast. Im going to use my cousin’s broker that she’s used a couple times so he’s more trustworthy for my father and I. He’s also Korean so that helps with discussing everything with my father. Real estate agents are notorious for being cheats, greedy, and deceptive. I’m going to have a full time job as a junior agent while I work. Hopefully I I’ll help lessen the deceptive practices and work with a senior agent that is very ethical.</p>
<p>Having a trustworthy broker is so crucial, especially for newcomers to Manhattan. Hopefully the broker will not try to cheat my father and I. I think they have worse reputations than politicians do when it comes to trust. Little lesson: it’s best not to trust ads on Craigslist because most of them are for bait and switch. They’ll put up fake pictures and when you contact the broker, he or she will tell you that the apartment was just rented even though its been off the market for weeks and months. Remember, the broker is there to work for you… not the other way around. If you don’t feel like one is working out for you, there is another broker more than welcome to have you as a client</p>
<p>This has become like an accepted students thread. </p>
<p>Why is Stern the hardest school to get into? I just wanna be in NYC!</p>
<p>Haha, it has, and I’m not even in yet…</p>
<p>@vihzel –> Be nice! I have my real estate license, haha.</p>
<p>I’m going to live on campus… I figure… worst comes to worst… and I don’t like my roommate… I just don’t talk to them much and spend my time with people that I do like… or I just get my room switched. Plus… I want to make sure that I have a way to talk to people and make enough friends quickly… also… friends that live close by and who will go clubbing with me at odd times of the night.</p>
<p>Oh BTW - I got my acceptance package via snail mail saturday. So, they are sending both an email acceptance and a snail mail one (for those that were wondering about it).</p>
<p>@KingSundru – CONGRATS! I’m jealous. Seriously. ;)</p>
<p>That is what I want… I want to be able to say “hey guys, Pacha is X blocks away… Let’s go because I have free passes for the night” and have people say “Hell yeah!”</p>
<p>I really think I have a problem with prog. house/trance. I love it and its culture a bit too much, haha.</p>
<p>That is why I want on campus for one semester… Then hopefully off (it’d probably be cheaper or at least the same amount as many NYU dorms except you won’t have to move stuff out for three months and keep it in storage until the fall again)</p>
