I'm a freshman in college and I'm considering moving to New York City next year to continue college there. I've been to New York City a few times and I absolutely loved it. As a matter of fact, the first time I ever went there I had a feeling of this is where I should be. I'm going to be a Business major and English minor. The real reason for going to New York City is to be discovered in the music industry. I've decided not to major in music because I've heard you're more likely to be discovered by attending open mic nights every night you're available to do so and by singing/playing in parks and such. Plus sending your music to record labels and hoping for the best. I am worried about the potential of not being discovered at all. Even if I'm not though, I'll still most likely have amazing memories of the city, right? I am worried about crime rate, what could happen (ya know you see the movies and such lol), and costs of living and going out which I'll be doing a lot since I will be in college. I wanted to know if many college students go out to bars even if you're under 21, fake ids and such or do they go to other apartments seeing how that would be cheaper, or a combination of both. I'm pretty much interested in anything anyone could tell me about their experiences of living in New York City and your opinion on my dreams. Please be curtious.
