    Sup,

    I'm heading over with 2 friends. Haven't booked any accommodation yet, really should get started. Have you looked at it yet? It's terrifyingly expensive, but I was checking in the nice areas. Also any look getting a job yet?

    I went on both the summer j1 and the one year j1. Stayed in a nice area on the upper east side. Cost me and a mate 1600 a month between us for a studio so 800 each. We were able to get a couple more into the apartment and that got it down to around 530 each, not too bad for where we were staying, i'd recommend it to anyone. I still have an email for the apartment building if you want me to pm it to you. They rent out the apartments on a month to month basis so no long contracts.

    This is the one we stayed in twice: http://www.nycityliving.com/Apartments.php?apartmentnumber=1010010
    Its two single beds pushed together, not a double. And its more spacious than the pictures make it seem in my opinion

    Hi guys, lots of questions of accommodation in New York etc being discussed over on http://www.j1forum.com.
    (That is not my website, by the way. No affiliation whatsoever. I am only FYI-ing you as a courtesy) :-)

    Hey guys, Myself & 2 other girls (23, 21, 21) are heading to NYC for the summer! We fly the 8th of June - 30th August. No real preference on where to live but living with others would be great!! Everywhere we find is SO expensive!!

    We should set up some sort of meetup once people are over here so everyone can get to know people :) Issues with the whole 21 thing but I'm sure we'd figure something.
