shit, man, rent is expensive. grad student housing will be fun, you'll be there with your fellow grad students and you'll have a local dive bar that you all go to and you'll make friends and it'll be good.
most parts of the city are cool to live in. your grad school is not on Staten Island. I guess super deep brooklyn/queens are not that cool, but really, keep an open mind, you'll have more fun than if you spend $5k a month to live in the east village.

Living in New York means spending a pretty penny on rent, but that also means hopefully living in a neighborhood you enjoy or a home/room you can really make your own. I think it can be hard to feel like you’re not missing out on all of the goings on in your city, but really enjoying your home and just relaxing, watching some tv, reading, or going for a walk around your neighborhood (basically backyard) are all free and let you take advantage of the money you have to spend every month.

This doesn’t apply to my current situation at all (lots of cool mfs in ATL), but it’s a good idea in theory. Cheaper rent sounds epic

- don't expect to live in Manhattan
- try to have work lined up ahead of time (harder for intl, ik)
- move here with less stuff so you can be more flexible with your living situation (it was easier for me at least)

I pulled together all the good advice I could on how to get a men's summer wardrobe together cheap. I hope it helps somebody.

I feel like this place isn't about people but about recommendations, right? forget the influencer, forget the individual, just browse and talk about cool shit and whoever says something good, that's good. that's what I liked about reddit, back when I actually liked reddit.
I haven't found many people I want to follow, and I'm not really looking.

I've been enjoying new clothes, and experimenting them with fun ways, so much lately that I need to keep reminding myself of this. Not every excursion outside needs to be fresh and new and experimental. If I am going out and I need a warm sweater and I need my sneakers and I already have a fit in mind with those pieces, I can just wear it, I don't need to reinvent the wheel every time.
