Should i move to New York for college?
Hello, I'm currently a senior in high school in the illinois region, and I was wondering if it wise for me to consider moving to New York to further my education. I have two siblings that attend college in state. I've never been one to leave home too have if I don't have to, and I absolutely do NOT like to fly in airplanes. However, vie always seen images of New York that just make it seem so lively and wonderful. I could really use some input here. Thanks everyone!

Hey! I've basically lived in NYC ALL my life and it sure has its ups and down. First off, what college are you planning to attend and what's your major? NYC is a very busy city and very different from Illinois. The sidewalks can get packed with people so you have to learn how to walk pretty fast and not be in people's way, they can be really rude at times. I love the way how you only need to spend $5 on a metro card, for the train, and it can literally take you ANYWHERE! From Manhattan, to the Bronx, to Brooklyn, to Queens and so on, you don't really need a car. The lights are AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL, especially during Christmas time, it's so romantic. The snow can get pretty heavy here, so bring snow boots or something and heavy clothing, it can get pretty chilly. Another thing I love about NYC is that you ALWAYS find something to do, you NEVER get bored, and, if you're hungry, there a Delis and Pizza places that are open 24/7 and can deliver to you. EVERYTHING is right around the corner, you don't have to travel miles and miles to get somewhere. Since NYC is packed with people, you can witness some crazy personalities at times too. Times Square is exactly what they show in the movies and tv, but way more packed with people and tourist. If you need to go upstate or to NJ or Long Island, we have the port Authority buses that would take you there, and sometimes for a cheap price, depending on where you're going. Oh! and it's not so quite at times, but not too loud either, depending on the day and traffic, it also depends on where you're staying. Overall, NYC is a wonderful place to be, of course every place has it's ups and downs but it does not cover the beauty of it. Don't be afraid to get out of your comfort zone, you really do discover a lot about the world once you leave home. if you need to know anymore just contact me =]
Answer 2 :
There are about fifty colleges and universities scattered through the five boroughs of NYC, ranging from small parochial through major public to enormous private institutions such as Columbia and NYU. Somewhere there is sure to be one to your liking, and offering whatever major you want. Most but not all offer housing, and even those that do not have an office to help find housing. Attending one will give you an experience that you will treasure for life.
