Just saw a freaking mouse walk leisurely in my $2,000 apartment!!!! this city is so god damn filthy. I walk around and it smells like dog piss everywhere, everyone is so rude, subways suck a**.....eh, that was me just venting, but I will probably live here for the next couple of years. Tomorrow I will just walk into a CVS while smelling the fresh piss and trash, buy some mouse traps and hope to catch the little sucker.

Good night!

lol i've been thinking about moving out as well. think about it:

$120k salary in NYC
minus living expenses and other filthy crap = left with ~30k.

$100k salary in DC/Boston/Penn doing same shit
= left with ~50k and higher standard of living.

my opinion is, unless you're an associate banking real money, living in nyc with 3 roommates cramped to a studio is stupid as fuck.

I don't understand the native New Yorker's unconditional love of NYC.

i think it comes from the attention and superficial "prestige" that non-New Yorkers associate NYC with. Yes, Manhattan and the upper east/west sides are filled with wealthy bankers and lawyers and hedge fund MDs but that isn't the REAL nyc.

honestly I was in Miami once - and this waitress asked me where I was from and I said "New York City" and her eyes lit up and was like "oh! wow so you must be very rich then! I can't imagine possibly ever living there - just don't have that kind of money!"

retarded.

Living in NYC is awful unless you're rich. The rent is outrageous for the substandard piece of crap apartment you get, there's trash and filth everywhere, and for a single guy, there just aren't that many attractive girls. It's probably the most overrated city in the world.

Just came from spending four years in Boston. Boston is about 10x cleaner than NYC and doesn't smell all the time. Please don't compare Boston to Philly...not really close at all.

Two things I don't like about Boston:
1) The subway sucks (but you can usually just walk to where you need to be)
2) The homeless people, while fewer per capita than NYC, are more aggressive

I'm honestly SO glad to read this. I have hated NYC for a while now. What gets me the most is when the random smell of dog p*ss and trash is unexpected. You'll be walking down the street, everything smells fine and then the smell just hits you right in the face. And the random drops of water that fall on you as you walk down the street (I've been told they are from air conditioning units) I hate that so so much. Also, my apartment sucks, especially for its ridiculous price.

If I didn't need to live close to the office, I would move out of this city in a heartbeat.

Philly is a shithole, but boston is pretty nice, especially if you're a student. MUCH cleaner than NYC. Of course, Chicago beats all of them.

Yeah, Boston doesn't smell like piss because it is 1/10th the size of NYC. Philly is twice the size of Boston and a fucking shit hole.

I don't know, I go to NYC very regularly and never have an issue. I think it is more the person than the city. Unless you go to Pittsburgh or some other micro city , you are going to deal with homeless people and pissy subways, etc.

Deal with it and enjoy yourself.

Chicago is just as much of a ghetto and shithole as every other city. You guys are fucking nuts. Boston is small as shit.

Jesus, some people can't handle living in a city at all. Sucks that you chose finance.

PRIVACY POLICY

The Company recognizes that you are concerned about privacy. We are committed to preserving your privacy and safeguarding your sensitive information. The following statement describes the general information-gathering and usage practices of our sites.

Our staff, contractors, Internet service providers and others involved in this site follow this policy or similarly strict policies regarding your Information.

Disclosure

The Company is committed to fully disclosing our policies regarding the collection, use, maintenance, disclosure and security of personal information obtained from users of our site. The term "personal information" includes a name, address, email address, or any other information which could be used to contact you directly or to identify you personally.

Use and Disclosure Limitations

The Company only uses personal information about its Web site users for specific purposes. We do not share user information with third parties except when we have told users about the disclosures, when we have prior consent, or when required by law.

Use Policy: When the Company gathers personal information from users, we ask for permission first. We also disclose, at the time of collection, how the information will be used by us. Personal information is used for activities such as auto-completion of commonly-used forms and helping us contact you when you solicit information from us.

Disclosure Policy: We do not normally disclose personal information to anyone outside of the Company unless we have previously informed users about the disclosures. However, some data may be used from time to time by outside contractors, including auditors or consultants, to assist us in carrying out necessary financial or operational activities. These uses will be consistent with this privacy policy and all contractors using this potential personal information must agree to safeguard it, to use it only for the authorized purpose, and to return it or destroy it upon completion of the activity.

The Company might be required to disclose personal information in response to a valid legal process such as a subpoena, search warrant or court order.

Although unlikely, it is possible that we may have to make certain disclosures to ensure the security of our Web site, to protect its integrity, or to take precautions against potential liability. In any of these situations, we will take any reasonable steps to limit the scope of the data disclosed.

Web Logs: The Company maintains standard Web logs that record basic information about visitors to our Web site. These logs contain: * The Internet domain from which you came to our Web site. * Your IP address. An IP address is a series of numbers which uniquely identifies your connection to the Internet. Although it is possible in some instances, certain types of IP addresses may be used by interested persons to identify users but we do not attempt to identify users in this way. * The type of browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape) and operating system (e.g., Windows 98) you use. * The date and time you visited the site, and the pages you saw.

We use Web log information to design our Web site, identify popular features, and in similar ways. We do not try to identify individuals from Web logs or to link Web logs to other user information. However, if someone tries to damage our Web site or use it in an unauthorized or illegal way, we may share Web log information with law enforcement agencies. The Company may provide aggregate information such as the number of users who visit particular pages of the site, or the number of people who link to certain external sites from our site, to other parties.

Changes to Privacy Policy

The Company's features and services will change over time and our information-gathering practices and policies may also change.

While our philosophy of protecting user information from inappropriate uses and disclosures will not change, this policy will be updated occasionally to include any change that materially affects the collection, maintenance, use, or disclosure of personal information.
