Hello. Just signed an apartment in NYC for move in next month for 3 bed / 1 bath. Was looking for 3 bed / 2 bath, however there weren't any apartments available in our budget range due to these apartments being scarce and people moving back into the city. Is 3 bed / 1 bath fine in terms of everyone being able to shower and get to work on time or is 3 bed / 2 bath a must when living with 2 other people?
Are 3 bed / 2 ba even common at all?

Didn't see 3 bed/2 bath that often in our budget either. Was hoping for at least 1.5 bath but that was pretty rare too, only 1 bathroom was definitely by far the most common.
Was your budget around 4.5k-6k? Seems like reasonable (rooms bigger than 10x10, closets, natural light throughout, etc...) 3 bed / 2 bath is really hard to find until you reach 6k+
How has living in the apartment been so far?
You will be fine in college I shared a place with 4 guys that had one bathroom. I always made sure I was the first one up
I lived in a 3br-1ba as a first year analyst with two other banker/PE types. It was fine
How often did you find yourself trying to go to the shower or bathroom before work and someone else was in the bathroom? I don't think it'll happen that often but just curious since haven't lived in a 3bed/1bath before
I don’t think that often. I mean we were all and still are fairly good friends so we communicated well. Also there was a kitchen sink and other areas to get ready per se besides the bathroom. The only “limiting factor” was really the toilet and/or shower. I think the showering time was fine, and bathroom was manageable. I also had a nox membership at the time so on days when I went to gym before work (was like only the first month or so haha) I could shower and use bathroom there. Thankfully the whole situation worked out well
During my internship I lived in a 5Bed-1Bath with 2 other bankers and 2 SWE interns, and it was fine.
How did that work out? Did some people go to work at 7 and others at 8 or 9?
