How much do apartments cost to rent in NYC?

Question

If I went to university at NYU (If that's in New York City?) I'm 14, and I haven't researched it much. But if I went to NYU and wanted to rent an apartment in NYC, or where ever NYU is, how much would it be (1-2 bedroom apartment) that isn't totally crappy, but not too fancy either. Just a good apartment for a student?

Answer 1

$2,300 for a tiny apartment.  Get some roommates. /

Answer 2

A studio apartment in Manhattan can cost $2000/month.  NYU is down in the Village, one of the most desirable areas of the city.  On Sunday, go find a copy of the New York Times and take a look at the apartment rental listings.  You need an education in the reality of New York City.

Answer 3

You've picked one of the most expensive areas in the nation at which to attend school.  Apartments in that area, for a simple 2 BR, can easily run $3500 or more per month.  If you are willing to live out in Queens or Astoria and take a half hour subway ride to school every day, you can find accommodations for about half that price.
