@SleeplessInSomewhere I know if I get admitted, my plan for making ends meet involves a roommate (my sister will be moving with me so I'm lucky there) and probably a side hustle. I've heard that it isn't uncommon for CUNY students to adjunct, and since I will have an MA in sociology, that seems like a good option for me. I'm also pretty frugal--was living on about $900/month for the last three semesters. But the city aspect makes me nervous, I have lived in a rural state my whole life. I'm ready to move up in the world, but it'll be a huge transition! I wonder if the admitted cohort could put together a zoom call with current CUNY students this summer to get their tips on making ends meet
