    Hi everyone- I'm writing (well, blogging) about my experience preparing to move to NY here: http://newyorkophile.com/. My husband will be going to The New School for Social Research & next year (depending on how career plans go) I'll be applying to a couple CUNY programs. For me the most nerve racking thing is waiting to apartment search. We want (NEED) a sublet for July & Aug. There's nothing up on Craigslist, etc, yet & friends & brokers advise not even to search til June. I'm coming from a college town where all the good apartments are signed by Apr/May @ the latest for an Aug 1 move-in. Have to sublet site unseen (have cats so hostel/hotel not an option), so that & the $$$ is stress enough. Not having anything lined up yet? Ahhh, going crazy!
  2. My husband applied for a Graduate PLUS Loan today. (He starts his MA @ The New School this fall.) How & when does he find out if he is approved? And when is it generally disbursed? (We need some moving money! ) Thanks.
  3. Hi. My husband has accepted the offer for the MA program in political science @ The New School. Anyone else out there?
  4. Sorry I was gone for so long. My husband turned down CUNY Grad Center for The New School. (Woohoo! The funding was just too good to pass up!) Exciting to see several NY & a couple New School people on here.
  5. My husband got his acceptance today. Masters program in Poli Sci. Anyone else?

    My husband & I (20 & 30-somethings, 2 cats, no kids) are relocating to NY this summer for him to attend CUNY Grad Center. I'm currently searching for a job/paid internship, but there is a chance we'll be moving with me still hunting. We know the city, particularly Manhattan, & to a lesser extent the other boroughs. We love the city & are prepared to make some sacrifices to make this dream come true. -Any tips on apartment hunting from out-of-state is greatly appreciated, particularly places that are grad-student (no guarantor) friendly. -Are there neighborhoods particularly popular w/CUNY Grad Center students? -Any other biggies we should know that don't usually get mentioned? I found the 2006 New York thread (starting to read it now), but am hoping to get more current/since the recession info. Thanks!
