How's the cost of living in new york? I'm an intern in michigan and I'm getting way less than 6k a month but I definitely feel spoiled.


NYU has a program where college students doing internships in NYC can live in an NYU dorm for ~$360/week.

I didn't find the groceries/food to be all that expensive.


(Manhattan prices) A good studio apartment will be $2000-2500 a month. A one bedroom would be $3000+.


Manhattan prices may $2k -$3k +, but you can get a reasonable apartment and commute for $1300 or less depending how far you want to commute daily


Wow, yea now I see why they get payed so much. A solid 2 bedroom around me is like 500-800.


Please do note that Fog Creek provides an apartment to interns for exactly that reason. You would not being paying New York rent as a student.


How much are you making if you don't mind me asking? I just accepted an internship in STL and curious where the compensation is around there.
