O'doyleRules said:Get to live in a really fun neighborhood in the east village, which is where tons of young people out of college move. Will definitely have a kick ass social life. Downside is that it is really pricey, and may not be one to turn down over your state school. Columbia>>Cornell>NYU>Sinai>Einstein.
The East Village gets old quickly when you've got work to do. It's a great place to goof off for a while, but a terrible place to live if you need a peaceful place to study or space in which to live. It is expensive and full of former suburban kids trying to look "edgy," but who pay $1000+/month on rent and live in about 300-500 sq. ft. (pretty standard w/ no AC and a 3-4 floor walkup.)
On the other hand, you can order almost any kind of food at any hour of the day and the neighborhood is basically a parade of drunk/drugged up men/women who are desperate for a man/woman with earning potential. I say "man/woman" because not everybody cares around here and you can't always tell either... 😉
