How much does it cost to live in New York?|133611

I am currently a High School junior and in fall of 2007 I will be attending New York University. I plan to move there after I graduate, and i just wanted to know if it is expensive.

It depends...It_s going to cost about...........
rent-about $1000.00 a month (studio)
food shop $400 to 500 a month
utility bills $200-300 a month
transportation $150 to $200 a month
just the basic will cost you about good $2000.00 the most every month......
I hope you find a decent paying part time job....
GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Compared to LA, London or Hong Kong no its not that bad.

Compared to Iowa, or Maine its expensive.

The good thing is you won_t have your car so that one less expense. Students usually have cheaper housing but going out to drink is more, and eating out is more.

yeah it_s expensive, but if you graduate from NYU and get a high paying job, you should be ok

Considering it_s at least $1000 for a very small studio apartment - yes. Space is tight and therefore at a premium. Sales Tax is high, food is expensive, parking is a nightmare. But, you can survive without a car rather easily, there is always something to do, and it_s a fun city. Have Fun!!!

More than you can possibly imagine.
