are you a student there?

been a while since I posted this

Never considered East Harlem. I didn't consider Brooklyn since the areas I'm considering in Queens seemed closer. It doesn't seem like there is a point as Queens is closer and isn't trendy like Brooklyn which factors into the price. I wouldn't totally rule out Brooklyn, it's just Queens is preferable. wonder how this is: http://www.apartmenthomeliving.com/apartment_finder/CommunityNeighborhood.aspx?property_id=205878 found these realtors for rentals: http://www.century21triboro.com/

What do you guys think of this? It was on the Hunter College website. http://maps.google.com/maps/place?rls=com.microsoft:*&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=new+york+student+housing&fb=1&gl=us&hq=student+housing&hnear=New+York,+NY&cid=15240609783366807907&ei=3q9JTMu3CML98AavwtSEDw&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCEQnQIwAA good google reviews: http://maps.google.com/maps/place?rls=com.microsoft:*&oe=UTF-8&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=new+york+student+housing&fb=1&gl=us&hq=student+housing&hnear=New+York,+NY&cid=15240609783366807907&ei=3q9JTMu3CML98AavwtSEDw&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCEQnQIwAA If I went to Hunter, I'd be a Grad Student. I'd rather not live around Undergrads or generally, people who are loud, party etc. I'd rather be around quiet, studious students. The rates listed are for the semester per person. I wonder if some of the places are more like apts with kitchens etc. I'd rather not live in a bunch of rooms with a common bathroom. I;m at work so there are unfortunately some limitations as to what I can view. also a relatively quiet area would bew nice for studying though it weould seem to be hard to find in manhattan. not considering anything in Brooklyn. Other than Manhattan I'd consider (as of now) Hunter's Point, Astoria/Ditmar, and Long Island City in Queens. also open to nearby raeas. like to do less than a 40, 30 min pref trip to hunter. Thanks for replies in advance.

What do you all think of this vs a Master's in Sociology? I guess the difference is this is generally more research/quantitative oriented than other Sociology Masters Programs. I am already taking an Online Grad Cert in Applied Stats, however learning it in the context of Social issues would be much more interesting. Perhaps I'll be able to get out of a class. I do enjoy the longer length of the MS in Applied Research program and it seeming to be very job focused. Thank you in advance for your replies About : http://maxweber.hunter.cuny.edu/socio/grad.html The Department of Sociology offers an intensive program in social research leading to the Master of Science degree. The program is designed for individuals with a background in the social sciences who wish to pursue a career in research and related areas, as well as for those who wish to upgrade their research skills. All courses are scheduled in the evening. Degree requirements: http://maxweber.hunter.cuny.edu/socio/grad/require.html Areas of specialization: http://maxweber.hunter.cuny.edu/socio/grad/area.html

At some point in the future I may do an MA in Sociology. I get the impression that it's very left leaning. In your experiences, do you find the students around you to generally be like this. I'm more left of center and can be a bit sympathetic to fiscally conservative causes at times. Do you encounter a lot of Faculty who are intolerant of non extreme left leaning views? I have a B.A. in Economics if that matters.
