Signing Bonus as an UG

Quick question for those who have already gone through the process:

Recently accepted offer in an energy trading division for asset management firm in NYC. Happy with company/base pay/rest of offer, but see nothing in the compensation clause about relocation help or a signing bonus. Coming out of school, I anticipate having some large initial costs of moving into an apartment. Is it worth asking if it's possible to get some $ upfront to move, or does it come across as snobby as a fresh grad. Would love to hear some advice from those who had issue or worked it out.

Thanks y'all!
