Are you going to live in it during the meantime as well? Or do you have some deal that will allow you to reserve it when it becomes available around Aug'09? Yes, you may be more obsessed than me :) I'm going to wait for an acceptance before making concrete plans hehe. If there's one thing I love, it's looking at floorplans of Manhattan apartments.<BR/><BR/>Sammy Whammy,<BR/>Okay, no more comments for you :P Never been a huge Riverside Park person. But BTW, I think Madison Square Park is realllly under-rated. It's so cute and perfect yet nobody ever mentions it.TienyChesneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632411405819685139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757486909907293884.post-64757695450024182762008-08-19T22:52:00.000-04:002008-08-19T22:52:00.000-04:00you've got to stop commenting so I can focus on my...you've got to stop commenting so I can focus on my essays! Just kidding. But yeah, I do live on the UWS. I much prefer it to the UES because it has more energy and a normal neighborhood vibe. Plus riverside park is better than the east river. <BR/><BR/>And I was overreacting to a bad day with that just a paycheck comment. I like my job, I do. The people are just weird in a hard to describe way.Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686248543474451346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757486909907293884.post-10797834183281432362008-08-19T16:57:00.000-04:002008-08-19T16:57:00.000-04:00OMG - I've totally picked out a 3 BR apartment on ...OMG - I've totally picked out a 3 BR apartment on Riverside myself and am thinking about how I'll convince two classmates at CBS to room with me.<BR/><BR/>Of course, my CBS application is still 10 days away from being completed.<BR/><BR/>Happy to see I'm not the only one completely enamored with CBS however.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757486909907293884.post-39010670923553520412008-08-19T00:38:00.000-04:002008-08-19T00:38:00.000-04:00Hey Anon,You bring up an excellent point... the ma...Hey Anon,<BR/>You bring up an excellent point... the main draw of MH is that its so close to campus and I want to be really involved and close to school and associated activities/events. However, if most CBS students are in the UWS, then I would want to be around them too. So by itself, I like MH more than the UWS (80s and 90s that is, I wouldn't mind living in the 70s). However, depending on how many CBSers are around, I guess I'd have to do the 80s/90s. I guess the other thing is that I don't plan on only being friends with CBS students. I know they will become my primary network but I can totally see myself becoming friends with students from the other schools so I want to be near campus. <BR/><BR/>Samantha,<BR/>I will reply to you on your blog. So happy to see you pop in!TienyChesneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11632411405819685139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757486909907293884.post-33616139249271256642008-08-18T22:40:00.000-04:002008-08-18T22:40:00.000-04:00I was walking home last night and saw all these ki...I was walking home last night and saw all these kids with name tags at a bar near Columbia. Of course they turned out to be b-school kids. It's weird to see them starting!<BR/><BR/>I know what you mean about the W. 90s -- although a whole foods is going in there it does has that huge housing project and lacks a bit of the charm of just north and south of there. I love morningside heights too, but you might appreciate a short subway ride to have a change of scenery.Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686248543474451346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757486909907293884.post-33649900515906550122008-08-18T20:28:00.000-04:002008-08-18T20:28:00.000-04:00I was very interested to hear you opinions on the ...I was very interested to hear you opinions on the UWS. I've only been to NYC twice (both were 1 week trips) so i have a vague feel for the city, I know most of the major neighborhoods and I've been to the UWS but I don't have any kind of detailed info on good v bad, fun v boring, young and trendy v old and stodgy. So, your input on the upper UWS as you put it (80s and 90s) was very interesting.<BR/><BR/>But I was also thinking, wouldn't an advantage of living the high 80s/90s be that you are closer to your classmates? I think CBS students are pretty concentrated there so you should have a decent amount of classmates within walking distance. I probably wouldn't want to live in morningside just cuz it seems like hardly any of the cbs students are there. If they were, I'd be interested. I liked the feel of the neighborhood, a bit quiet, collegish, it seemed very apart from the rest of manhattan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757486909907293884.post-63086527073304405692008-08-18T14:00:00.000-04:002008-08-18T14:00:00.000-04:00HappyB,Definitely!

I love it and I'd be happy to give you all my thoughts, biased as they might be. <BR/><BR/>Also, I plan on taking a Continuing Education course (or maybe i'll just self-study from a textbook?) in Financial Accounting or Corporate Finance later this year or early next year. My reasoning was that I wanted to test out of one of the requirements and take an elective instead. But I hear the exemption tests are realllly difficult. Maybe it'd be better to just take the course again- you'd probably learn some additional insights and you'd have fun with your Cluster since you'd be less stressed from the material.

I'm not so familiar with the bad and good neighborhood. Need also taking into consideration of where J works. I was too plotting my class schedule on a spreadsheet LoL I was hoping to exempt statistics and financial accounting. :PMo Zhouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06990885129869457169noreply@blogger.com
