Question for any NYU folk--
I am trying to figure out where I can reasonably afford to live without having to commute from my parents' place in North Jersey (which would be a nightmare, for a multitude of reasons).
How hard is it to get graduate housing at NYU? I prefer my own space, so is the single bedroom like undergrad living, or do you find it private enough?
For those who live off campus, where should I look to rent? Is it reasonable to hope to find a single bedroom/open loft for under $1200/month? Is the commute from Astoria or Brooklyn horrible?
Any thoughts, personal anecdotes about this are highly appreciated!
