Answer 1 :
are you serious, under $1,1oo, good luck, well, maybe, but a very thin maybe, you should try the North Bronx and lower Westchester, Yonkers, the east Bronx, places like Woodlawn, Riverdale, Westchester Square area, these all have apts here and there, some of the neighborhoods are better than others, Woodlawn is nice, but probably overated, the community is irish, others too, but irish mostly, now a days, on the other side of the Bronx river is Wakefield, it is Black, Jamacian, mostly, some nice, some not, private homes and apt houses abound in these areas, Yonkers is nice, you commute to the city from these areas, $2.oo for the bus, and $2.oo for the train, or something like that, commuter trains cost more, move out of the city forty miles, sometimes it is not as expensive, and then you can try towns in New Jersey, commute time an hour and a half, go exploring, Queens, these have good places, Bayside, nicer neighborhoods, anyway, good luck, you might find an apt in a not so nice place for about a third of what you are willing to spend, probably 7 or 8 is more like it, anyway, i do not think there is anything like tht in Manhattan, so have a good day,
Answer 2 :
most grads live downtown in the village. artsy folk, alternate lifestyle, philosophical, poets, beer guzzlers and grass smokers. however, the new smart trend is to move to brooklyn where rent is about 60% cheaper and still only a $2.00 subway ride away from manhattan
