Help-Columbia Housing
Dear all,Sun Apr 20, 2008 09:06 AM I am in the process of searching for an appropriate unit at CLS. My criteria: Price: USD1000+/-200/month (including utilities) Proximity to Law School: the closer the better Of course, security is always the priority concern. I have studied the info provided by school and explored relevant threads on the board, my initial findings are: 1. WEST 115TH AND 116TH STREET Seem to be a good choice. Close to law school and price for a bedroom in a 3-bedroom share ($970-1160) is a bit expensive but acceptable. Cons: some say the buildings are old and the units are smaller. Q1: Are the roommates randomly picked by the lottery? Q2: Are there any two-bedroom apt? Q3: Any more detailed info and which is better btw 115th and 116th? 2. HARMONY Seems to be the cheapest choice ($790-950) Cons: People have to share the 2 bathrooms on each floor, which may be inconvenient. Q4: How many people are there living on a floor? Will it be very inconvenient to share bathrooms and kitchen? 3. Lionsgate Price for a room in a shared apt is similar to 115th and 116th Street Cons: Four blocks away from law school. Could be an advantage for some people though since it’s said to be “closer to the fun parts of Amsterdam Ave and Broadway”. Q5: Since the price is similar to 115th and 116th street, could anyone compare the two? 4. LENFEST Newly decorated, fully furnished, highly-modern management Cons: Price ($1580 the least) over my budget; some say a bit far from the law school (10-20 mins’ walk) Q6: Any other options of on-campus housing that can meet my criteria? Hope the above is helpful to those having not decided which to apply. Also wish to be provided more “insider” information and answers to my questions. Thanks in advance! |
