also we totally just outed ourselves to CLS if they lurk around here. all they'd have to do is figure out which is me and which is puppins. (the numbers and my total desperation to stay in nyc should make it pretty obvious. hey cls!)

I'm actually pretty sad I don't qualify for the hamilton.

COL is really high, but there are definitely ways to get around it if you're willing to put in the effort. i pay less in rent than friends in chicago and DC but i live in a beautiful apt and great building in what is apparently a fairly ritzy area. other stuff like food and going out are really what you want them to be -- eldridge street dumplings are 5 for a dollar and they're really good. and once in a while you can make the trek out to target in brooklyn or the bronx and pick up other random things. it isn't so much that nyc is impossibly expensive but that the temptation to spend outside your means is so omnipresent.puppins wrote:I'm actually pretty sad I don't qualify for the hamilton.

I was more worried about the rent than the food, tbh. Though I think CLS has some sort of guaranteed housing?

Do people ever take the hamilton? Last year on LSN it seems nobody did. In fact, it seems like the highest scholarship people accept at columbia is around 75k (usually the high lsat/sub3.6gpa kiddos who don't get into hys). Can I have 75k please? I want a puppy.gahthelaw wrote:COL is really high, but there are definitely ways to get around it if you're willing to put in the effort. i pay less in rent than friends in chicago and DC but i live in a beautiful apt and great building in what is apparently a fairly ritzy area. other stuff like food and going out are really what you want them to be -- eldridge street dumplings are 5 for a dollar and they're really good. and once in a while you can make the trek out to target in brooklyn or the bronx and pick up other random things. it isn't so much that nyc is impossibly expensive but that the temptation to spend outside your means is so omnipresent.puppins wrote:I'm actually pretty sad I don't qualify for the hamilton.

Yea, sorry
thats 4.3 and 4.5
people definitely take it but I mean, if you have a 4.6 or greater index, yeah, you probably got into HYS too.of Benito Cereno wrote: Do people ever take the hamilton?

yea, they do have "guaranteed subsidized housing" but its ridiculously expensive and not really a better deal than area 1 bedrooms.Helmholtz wrote:I was told they had guaranteed subsidized housing as long as you apply for it in time.puppins wrote:I was more worried about the rent than the food, tbh.

also, the rent in new york really is very high. for 2k you can barely get a 1 bedroom in manhattan and for that you can get a great 3 bedroom in chicago.
