[Nyabs] as students in NYC where do you live

[vparadiso92]

Hello Carrie,
My name is Valeria, And I also live in Queens. I live in  Woodside, a neighborhood  about 10 minutes away from Manhattan via train. There are also affordable  options around here, but I'm not sure about the roommate situation. Let me know if you need any further assistance, I'd also be very happy to show you around.
Good luck,
V

It's known for being a Greek and Middle Eastern neighborhood  but it's actually a culturally diverse neighborhood so you'll be able to find all different types of ethnic foods. You should have no problem finding supermarkets and laundromats. It's also a safe neighborhood. It's about a 15 minute train ride to Manhattan. You'd probably end up taking 2 trains to John JAy and the commute will be around 40 minutes to an hour. Do you have specific questions? I'd suggest looking up prices for rooms in Astoria on Craigslist to find out if they fit your budget.

I've been looking on craigslist for possible options, but I'm leary of that. I know some people use craigslist successfully. I'm willing to go look at places perhaps after communicating with the owners of the ads. I deffently will not go alone, and there are certain neighborhoods I know to avoid...
