NYC Schools

[TooExcited&Nervous]

I know I have made a million and one threads but this is my final one. haha. Anyways, those that will be in NYC this coming school year, how are you going about housing? When are you planning to move to NYC?

I am looking on sites such as streeteasy and craigslist and getting help from family financially to afford rent. I plan to live in Manhattan and I am moving in late May. Got a summer job at a camp there!

I’m dying... still waiting on a financial package to see if I can swing it! Then again, I don’t really care how much I have to borrow lol...

If I am going, I’ll move in August. I’m locked in my current lease through July 31st.

My plan was to work all summer and then move early August or as soon as I save enough money. If I can find a decent paying job for the summer, I think I'll be fine. The hard part is finding a place while living out of the state.

Looking for a place is driving me insane! 

And then the logistics of actually getting there lol.

Luckily, a round trip flight from my home state is around $118. Getting there isn't an issue, more so looking for a place. I am only taking the essentials with me. I'm leaving most of my items from my current apt in a storage.

Ahhh, this is a life move for me, along with my cat. I’m selling everything I own except my clothes and some kitchen stuff. And I def need to get rid of some clothes ?

If I end up liking NYC, then I will come back for the rest of my items. lol Plato's Closet and style encore, my places to go when cleaning out my closet. Then whatever I can't sell, I drop off at my local shelters/centers.
