House sharing?

[Richard]

Looking for a safe place near public transportation that allows work/study at night. Housing sharing will be great to make friends, group studying and low the costs. Prefer to allow simple Chinese cooking but can settle for no.

Here is me briefly, someone that you can trust having an easy time :
Male, Chinese. Easy going. Enjoy reading, sports(various, play/watch) and investments.

If any new MFE students are interested in finding a house together, or any existing students having a bed to rent, please post or drop me an IM.

For anyone also look for housing, here are some housing resources I found from previous posts (thanks) and plan to research:

(Craig's list) new york city rooms & shares classifieds - craigslist

(Baruch site) http://theticker.campusave.com/

(in chinese) ¥@¬É¤ÀÃþ¼s§iºô

If you know any other good resources, please post. Thanks!

Best,
Richard

Queens seems to be a popular choice among current students. You should start looking at places within walking distance to the 7, F trains

Elmhurst is a good area to live for Chinese students, it's close to G, V, R Train, close to Chinese groceries, restaurants, library, Queens Mall. And the most important thing is, the rent is quite affordable. I've been living that area since I moved to NYC for about 2 years, during which period, nothing bad, or unsafe happend to me......except for I found rats some day

Forget to mention, go to ¥@¬É¤é³ø¢w¢w­º­¶.
There're lots of useful housing/sharing info on it.

Thanks Andy and Yan for the tips.

Guess this is memorial weekend, so I will be patient waiting to hear if any new student also looking for houses.

Best,
Richard

It's not ideal time to look for students for sharing now. Since the summer already began and the new semester is some time to go...

 

[Richard]

Thanks Yan.

Understood and I will start looking once I took care a more important issue next week.

Best,
Richard

You may also want to look into housing at The Towers, a dorm at City College. It's open to all CUNY student

Due to some change in my personal situation, I will not be looking for house sharing in NY. I know several new Chinese students are still looking for house and maybe sharing, so this should still be a good thread that you can posting questions, sharing housing information and ask for help. Good luck with your housing need!

Hi Andy,

1 simple question about The CUNY News Wire » Blog Archive » Students Begin Moving Into Newly Opened Towers Residence Hall At The City College Of New York
This seems a news link, not housing information? do you happen to know the link to tower dorm?

Thanks
Yiping

Hi Yiping,
Send Eddie a PM. He should be able to provide you with more detailed info. From what I gather, you may be able to find better deals in Queens on CL at new york city rooms & shares classifieds - craigslist
CL is the preferred way for most people, specially students in NY to find shared apt

 

[Eddie]

Feel free to do so.

Yiping/Anyone who is concerned,

I found pretty much all my housing options on CL, and I've been pretty happy with it. (thought that such a testimony might be helpful by any means...)
