What’s up everyone, moving to NJ/NYC mid summer after school to work at a BB and wondering if I should even bother attempting to find a roommate or if I should just live alone?
Also to those who have found a good set of roommates before moving out there, how did you find them? Thanks everyone!

Assuming you’ll be back in office / not on a hybrid model I would suggest finding roommates - you won’t be home that much and once you decide to live alone you won’t want to go back to having roommates so you might as well deal with it for your analyst years and save some $$$. If you don’t know anyone to live with, you can downloading the app Roomi. I found a place my second year as an analyst that ended up working out well enough
Alternatively you can save money and try to get by sleeping in the office/in other spots. Echoing the commenter above me, you rarely spend time at home. If I were to do it all again I would honestly just sleep on random couches/at my desk and save that precious rent money.
Where would u have showered tho?
He’s joking u bafoon
YMCA/Gyms
Rental market is so strong rn you can get a studio (or even a 1br depending on the neighborhood) for the same price new analysts used to pay with roommates. I’m NYC based and used this to get my own 1br for senior year and intend on keeping it this way. SO much better than roommates (I also grew up an only child so I require a quiet environment). Very affordable right now.
I'd say the time for a sweet rental deal was last year and maybe Jan 2021.
The NYC rental market has been rebounding heavily and you won't find as many great deals as say, Aug 2020. Doesn't mean that prices are at their peak, so in reality, there are still plenty of decent deals out there.
Yeah prices have slowly been creeping back up, and with more people shifting into NYC as the city starts to open back up prices are just gonna keep going up. Definitely looking to lock into a lease as soon as I can.
