Hi jesskiss312,
My roommate and I will most likely be leaving NYC (after 7 years 🙁) that is provided that I don't get into SUNY! The apartment is in Midtown West and is one of the largest apartments in an incredible building for a relatively reasonable price (reasonable for Manhattan!). The apartment is a 2 bdrm (converted), however you can take the wall down and leave it as a spacious 1 bedroom. For the amount you'll be paying in rent, I think you will want to keep the wall up though! It is a doorman, elevator building with laundry and drycleaning in the building as well. I couldn't be happier here and wish I didn't have to leave but if I get into another school I will most likely be leaving NY.
I will keep you posted on my acceptance status and hopefully something will work out for you! Let me know if you have any questions at all about renting in Manhattan...you have to be persistent but if you are you will find a gem!
