aaaaaaaaand the reality of moving to new york city is hitting me. i found out today that i got on campus housing at columbia, which is great. it is furnished, so i can move minimal things up there - crucial, as i have no desire to move my whole life up to new york for just a year. the building i was assigned to is around the corner from school (literally), which will be so wonderful - a 3 minute commute by foot instead of a 15 minute commute by car! i am SO EXCITED ABOUT THAT. i'll be paying $1,000 a month, which by new york city standards is pretty awesome. but (reality check time), i'll be living in 109 square feet.
that is not a typo.
i'm sure some of you have closets bigger than that.
it's a "suite" - i have my own room and share a bathroom and kitchen with five other girls.
this should be interesting.
but the other option is: find my own housing - sure to be more expensive, sure to be unfurnished, sure to be farther away. so! 109 square foot dorm room it is! the room looks out on the "courtyard," not the street, so hopefully that means the noise level will be minimal. it's on the second floor, so i can hop up the stairs instead of waiting for an elevator.
i can do anything for a year. right?
My sophomore dorm room in House CC was 111 square feet, if you need a visual reference point. It's actually the same room Monique had before me. Lofting is pretty much a must.
