    Hey all!

    We're two fantastic girls (age 22/23) heading to NYC this summer and are looking for some equally fantastic people to live with!! We haven't found anywhere yet, scouring Craigslist but everywhere seems so expensive!! We're thinking of living in Brooklyn/Queens but as close to Manhattan as possible?

    Fun, hot, sexy people need only apply!!
  1.  
    hey, am thinking about NYC. have ye managed to find jobs yet?

    Hey Doyletron,

    What month you heading over? I'm heading over in March and am in the same boat... same age, hottness etc too.

    I was told Queens/Sunnyside is really up and coming, quite cheap and across the bridge from the Upper East Side.

    Yes i'm heading over solo! Kinda freaking out a little but also really excited!

    Williamsburg is also really good i've been told, very cultural apparently.

    where abouts are you from? I'm from Australia...

    I definately want to meet some people who are in the same boat, so here is my facebook link, let me know when you arrive!

    Doyletron - Yes i got your friend request, you look like fun - and i love gossip girl and entourage! One mission i have for my friends is to stalk the TV show... and visit Queens blvd! In terms of accom/jobs, I have a couple of interviews lined up but thats it, was just going to hostel it for a while until i secured something.

    Curly Ciara - am totally freaking but am really excited too becuase, yeah, will be meeting so many people!

    Will definitely have to catch up with you all so let me know when you arrive and i'll let you know what its all like when i get there... in 5 weeks... ARGH!
