I just found out that I've been admitted to a PhD program with five years of funding at CUNY. I visited it when I interviewed. I've been to NY a few times, but haven't spent any time in Midtown other than when I went to my interview. Can anyone give me advice about CUNY and/or New York? Where can I find (reasonably) affordable housing with my husband? Is it possible to find safe/reasonably affordable housing? Will I have to sell my car? Is apartment searching in NY better online or on foot? Thanks!

Hi there! I've recently been accepted to Brandeis for a PhD program and was wondering if anyone had advice about Brandeis and/or the Waltham area. I'm currently finishing up my Master's at UMass in Amherst, so I know a fair bit about Massachusetts generally, but very little about the Waltham area. What are some good bars/restaurants? What is the best way to find affordable living (I'll be living with my husband)? How good is public transport? Thanks!
