Apartment Hunting in NYC Should Be an Olympic Event

Oh my goodness. I knew apts are expensive here but I didn't realize how time consuming apartment hunting would be. My advise if you ever plan on looking at apartments in NYC is be persistent and use multiple sources because you never know. I was planning on subletting which I may do temporally if I can't find something right away but I am finding for lease apartments are more reliable. This afternoon I am looking at some apts in Manhattan and on Sunday I am looking at some apartments in Queens in the Forest Hills/Rego Park area. So we shall see. I am confident I will find something, it just is not going to happen overnight. This is definitely the right move though. I am really excited about some of the apartments I will look at and hope to find the right one soon.

Yesterday I opened a bank account and went to HR at New School to turn in my paperwork, set up direct deposit, and get my ID taken. Too bad that my ID says faculty/administrative because I can't use it for student discounts....good thing my GVSU ID is still good :) and come to think of it my AQ one might be as well.
