TresTristesTigres Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Hello everyone! I am a Fulbright student from Colombia and I have been accepted in the MFA photography in Parsons. I will have a stipend of 2,400 dollars per month, and even if I would really like NYC I want to stay with my feet on the ground and think about...MONEY. Is it realistic to live with this salary? My university is in Manhattan, and even though I am low maintenance I do like to go sometimes out and spend some money in social activities. THANK YOU! I've just been to the States once and your help will be SUPER appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jjjuliannn Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Hello!! I am a recent college grad and have been living in the city on and off for almost 5 years. I have never been a student in the city but currently work here full-time and live in Maspeth, Queens. I think 2,400 is a good amount for living. I have a room in a not so nice apartment I pay 700 a month for. If you get a cheap room like this you will be most likely to live a somewhat restricted life (for New York City) but it's possible. I would give it a go, congratulations on your acceptance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
