Based on previous WSO threads, here are some relevant points and suggestions for finding a roommate in NYC for your summer internship:

  1. Roommate Threads:

    • 2021 FT Roommate Thread: This thread is aimed at finding potential roommates and getting to know each other before aggressively looking for apartments in March/April. It includes details like preferred neighborhoods, budget, and contact information.
    • 2017 FT Roommate Thread: This thread focuses on finding roommates with a preference for areas near a subway and a commute of around 30 minutes to FiDi. It also includes budget and contact details.
  2. Preferred Neighborhoods:

    • Midtown and Below, Murray Hill: These areas are popular among interns and analysts due to their proximity to offices and convenient commute options.
  3. Budget Considerations:

    • 2021 FT Roommate Thread: The budget mentioned is up to $1400 per month.
    • 2017 FT Roommate Thread: The budget mentioned is up to $1700 per month, with a preference for lower costs.
  4. Contacting Potential Roommates:

    • You can post your details in similar threads on WSO to find potential roommates. Include your preferences, budget, and contact information.
  5. General Advice:

    • Subletting: Consider subletting an apartment or finding a place through platforms like Airbnb if you prefer flexibility.
    • NYU Dorms: While popular, they may be full, so explore other housing options.
    • Broker Fees and Deposits: Be prepared for upfront costs like first and last month's rent, security deposit, and broker fees.

Feel free to post your details in the relevant threads on WSO to connect with potential roommates. Good luck with your internship and housing search!
