Washington Heights fit the bill a few years ago but I hear prices have gone up now that it's gone from "developing" to "developed." There are ALWAYS neighborhoods in flux that are relatively affordable, but you have to search hard. My old Harlem neighborhood (just above the park between Lennox/St. Nicholas) was dirt cheap until they threw up a Whole Foods and started building condos. Try Spanish Harlem, between 100th & 110th. You'd have about a 1/2 hour ride on the 4/5/6 line, or you could take the M116 bus up a few blocks and then straight west to the 2/3 express (probably about 30-40 minutes total if you know your bus route times). Both stop at Union Square.philipthegreat wrote:You want to find an affordable place within a 40 min subway ride of Manhattan? Damn, good luck.

Anyone contemplating any housing options not in Manhattan? Curious what the best options are. I don't know NYC too well. All I know is I want my commute at or less than 40 min via public transport. I also need some space because I have a 60lb dog and a fiance coming too if I accept and would rather not get rid of either of them.
If you are traveling from more than 250 miles, but less than 500 miles away, they will reimburse up to $200; $400 if 500 miles or more. They will also reimburse for hotel and a few other miscellaneous expenses.havermayer wrote:Does anyone happen to know how much they offer in regards to travel stipends to travel for ASD?

Notify them immediately. I was in the same percentile and scored a full ride.PattyCake wrote:I was waitlisted a few weeks ago, just got my Feb LSAT score and I hit their 75th percentile. Wondering what my chances of coming off the WL are and how soon... scholarship possibility?
How about the generic one to start, 1. How do you like it? Professors, classmates, overall experiencesd5289 wrote:*sigh* I apparently agreed to not only a luncheon at the ASD on 3/20, I'm now part of the Q&A because the prof whose class was at the same time "signed off" on my being there.

Yep you could be considered for both. When you accept your spot on the waitlist you can also request to be considered for May in the same email.Branruss wrote:Waitlisted for fall start. does anyone know if you could ask to be considered for BOTH the may start and stay on the fall waitlist. Or do you have to pick? (I heard last year not many people were ever taken off the waitlist for fall)
1. I do like it, and think it's a more friendly environment then friends of mine at other schools report. A lot of the prof's are top-notch, but there are also some duds. So far, I've had a good experience. That's not to say there aren't assholes here. There are. Just as there are at many other schools. Why? Because law school.CaveCanem wrote:How about the generic one to start, 1. How do you like it?

2. what feel do u get for Dozo's place in the NY market? Are they well-respected in the BigLaw world & represented w. networking events and OCI?

2. This question is tricker to answer. Our IP kids tend to do pretty well. I don't think the people who interviewed through OCI got very far (I didn't do OCI...I'm a PI person). My understanding from friends who are trying to go private is that they're seeking out mid to small law firms. There are a select few who go into BigLaw, but that is definitely not the norm. Its primary market is NY for sure. It's a regional school, and I'm not sure why we have so many people from out-of-state. One thing I've noticed of Cardozo is that there are TONS of events here, and if networking is your thing, you'll have more than enough opportunities. I kinda think networking is a boomer flame, but then again, I'm headed into a very niche area that just doesn't lend itself to the swanky cocktail parties / "networking" events that most firms foster.

Just curious, how long have you been on the east side and how far up/downtown? I thought that bubble burst a few years ago, I might look again if it's becoming relatively affordable again... The area from 90th to 72nd (ish) used to cost about the same as Spanish Harlem but then they started updating the buildings and rents skyrocketed. My MIL has a 1BR on 76th or 77th (1/2 bath, decent closet space, practically nonexistent kitchen) and she's paid about 2K/month since around 2009. Her new neighbors (identical unit) have paid about $2450 since 2012.sunnyd101 wrote:I live on the east side of Manhattan and my rent is pretty affordable. You really just have to dig deep to find a good place. I was looking at places in the areas others have mentioned (Astoria, Brooklyn, etc.) and they were just as expensive, if not considerably more so. Really depends on how much digging you do.PattyCake wrote:Washington Heights fit the bill a few years ago but I hear prices have gone up now that it's gone from "developing" to "developed."
