  • //Hi friends! Today's video is what it's really like living in NYC, how to move to NYC, my tips, my experience living in NYC, and the expectations vs. the reality of living in NYC! I wanted to do this video for those who are moving to NYC and want tips on living here, what to expect, and how to be successful! This is my college experience in NYC, so obviously it varies from a true New Yorker's. I talk about the expenses of NYC, finding an apartment, studying in quiet spaces, and how to move far from home. But I still hope this gives you all some tips on moving to NYC and living life here!

    Hey friends! I wanted to post this to help all my friends out there who are moving to NYC. This is my experience and my tips! I tried to answer y'all's questions to the best of my ability. Let me know where you're going to college in the fall!

    I grew up in northern va which is a really suburban area being right outside of DC and I just finished my freshman year at a big state school about two hours away and I agree with moving away to grow up. I felt I was a fairly independent person before college but moving away makes that sense of independence sooo much stronger and natural. I am so blessed with that opportunity to move away and I feel like moving away from your hometown (even just 2 hours) is so beneficial to growing up ❤️

    I just wanted to say that I really really like this video it's very different and it was very interesting I don't plan on moving to New York but I still like how it wasn't so artificial like many other youtube videos!

    I agree so strongly when you talked about how everyone should move away. I moved away from university and as much as i get home sick and miss my little city, i also see how much i have grown and changed in comparison to those people i know who didn't move away. I think its important to get out of your comfort zone, meet new people and learn to take care of yourself in order to start growing as an adult in this big scary world

    I’m going to college in St.Louis in the fall! I would love some more videos on how to live in a busy city on a budget. I value experiences over materials but sometimes experiences are expensive! I would love to here your tips on saving money and still having a good time.
    Also how did you get comfortable walking around the city alone? Do you do anything in terms of safety precautions when you’re alone so you aren’t stuck in a sketchy situation?
    I love you’re videos and would also love to see some more faith videos, especially how you incorporate God into your everyday life. Love you! 💕

    I so agree with you on why people should move away from home. I just finished my first year of college that’s a two hour drive from home. The first couple of days I got very home sick. I’m an only child and I did come home almost every other weekend. But I still learned sooo sooo much about myself. I also learned a lot about other things. Now, I moved back home for the summer and kind of miss my apartment and my roommates, haha.

    I want to transfer to a university and live on campus. Even though the two universities I’m interested in are like 30 minutes away from home. I feel like living on campus and having roommates will help me gain more friends and be more independent.

    • @-AGB-
      @-AGB- 6 лет назад +4

      Jacqueline Castor I’d highly recommend just living at home and simply joining clubs and organizations. You’ll save sooo much money. If you want to be independent get a job and pay for your gas or insurance or something but if your parent don’t mind you staying home. Save your money. Student loans are the devil.

    • @jacqueline0325
      @jacqueline0325 6 лет назад

      Abigail Bonsrah well I’m transferring from a community college and I’ve decided the best for me is to move away and I plan to apply for multiple scholarships. I am technically on scholarship at the community college I attend. Since I will be a transfer student, I won’t be as in debt as if I was starting as a freshman.

    • @jacqueline0325
      @jacqueline0325 6 лет назад +1

      Abigail Bonsrah plus I do have a job I’m a work study and I will be paying for insurance and gas soon, being introvert and living at home hasn’t helped me much with making friends

    Independence can have various meanings with the introduction of different circumstances I believe. Situations are different for everyone lol, just a side note!

    I’ve lived in New York my whole life. I honestly hate it. I wish I could have a lone time and I hate the “rollercoaster”. I’m planning on moving to Florida soon, in the middle of nowhere. Lol I’m happy that you could find a way to like it 😂👌🏼

    Hey I’m studying abroad next year in Prague and it will be my first time having a roommate - what’s that like? As a fellow introvert, I’m just wondering how you deal with studying and alone time and just finding the balance of living so closely with another person

    I'm a New Yorker, but I'm moving to Virginia for college. How do I deal with the transition to a more southern location?

    • @frogs9468
      @frogs9468 6 лет назад +1

      I've lived in VA my whole life. The only thing you'll really have to get used to is the changing weather. It'll be 80 & sunny one day then 20 & snowing the next. I don't really have much (if any) advice on the transition, you'll just really have to go with the flow & learn as you go.

    Honestly as a new yorker, when you wanna come live here stop aiming for Manhattan and all the gentrified communities. Live in the Bronx. It's the cheaper and better borough. 😎
