not one single testimony for the great city of NY?

well that's understandable. the nightlife is very 21+ (and 23+, then 25+, sigh), expensive ALL the way around, the dating scene - garbage (everyone's dated everyone). and no one is from here anymore - everyone is a transplant from either Smalltown USA or another metropolis (DC/Atlanta/LA/Chicago/Seattle).

the AA community - where? we're around, but then again we're not. its hard to explain. my educated AA circle are NPHC, and were not as deep as some other cities.

plus raising kids here, while i am a product of it, would not recommend it, not even in the "suburbs" of the outer boroughs.

so, where does a Noo Yawker relocate when she knows nothing comes close, even through all its flaws? I know there's some sacrifices, but i leave NY for more than 2-3 days and i start to get the shakes.

To the Sorors in Houston:

I will be moving there in July to attend TSU for an MBA w/ conc. in Health Services Admin. I will be visiting next week primarily searching for somewhere to live. I'm still in the "broke student" range. Are there any suggestions? I plan to have a GA position and a job...

Soror NOW YOU KNOW YOU COULDA HIT ME UP!!!!! Shame on you!!! I'll ask another Soror I know who lives near campus. Sometimes if you go through an apartment locator you can get pretty good deals.

PM or email me your price range!!!

Soror: Congrats! I just moved to a two bedroom apartment right around the corner (literally) from TSU. There are a lot of duplexes in the area. I stayed in a four-plex during law school and I'm staying a duplex right now. Feel free to PM me.

TTT

Sorors, I am moving to Houston this summer. I've set the date as the last weekend in June. I'm looking for a job there, but I'm not having much luck. I recently received a BS in Health Services Administration, & I will be attending Texas Southern University in the fall working towards a MBA w/ concentration in Health Services Adminstration. I've been checking the openings at hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, & the Greensheet. The "I got the hook up" thread made me think of this one. Do any sorors in the Houston area have any suggestions or know of any openings? If so, please pm me!

Just a little additional info:
*I was involved in other organizations & held executive offices
*Graduated w/ above a B average
*recently completed an internship in the Marketing & Foundation department of a local hospital

There's more including my goals, attributes, & a cover letter & resume, but I wanted to keep it brief.

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to respond!
