Thank you KillarneyRose and Cream for your personal stories and little words of wisdom.
I heard Park Slope was a good place, so I will definetly look into that now that more than one person has suggested it. The only reservation I have with that is that is the commute to the Bronx if I am placed there. I don't know anything about the bus system so I'll have to check that out. But it would work if I was placed in Brooklyn. I wish they had told me in my acceptance letter! I will be getting some suggestions from the program for housing but I don't know when those will come. I called them up this week, was sent to voice mail which was too full to leave a msg and my email has yet to be responded to
and yay for my 400th post!
