where are good places to stay in ny convenient to nyu and columbia?
Book the hotels that are listed on the Columbia's official website!
The majority of hotels listed are priced at around $300~400 per one night!
U will get discounted as a guest to Columbia University, though!
Anyway, trust me, the least expensive one is still over $100.
As I am a Korean, I would go to Korea town in Manhattan. If u really want to enjoy Korean stuff, just get a taxi and hang around "Flushing" in Queens. But, I don't recommend u to wander around that place at night!
(One way-->$30~40 for taxi)
Other than that, I don't know much about NYC.
Just, I remember there are many things u can enjoy in NYC. (Movie, club, food, opera house, cinema, etc
😉) -------> EVENING ENTERTAINMENTS
Now, I know Columbia university has a mission to provide high quality & comprehensive care to the community in Northern Manhattan (Washington Heights/Inwood, and Harlem)
