nyc: I live in a really small farming community. I hate it. I have always wanted to live in a big city where there are more people and more opportunities, I am a senior in high school right now. I want to go to college at some point but I don't know where or for what. I want to go to college for liberal arts at first. I have ok grades. I have really good grades in english, history, and art. I have a 90 from science last year but I have poor grades from earth science and biology. Algebra and geometry are not my best courses either. Are there any good colleges in NYC that would even think about accepting me? If not is it really expensive to live in the city? Even in Queens or the Bronx? I really want to go to the city at some point! I just want to know what my chances are. What are some other good city colleges? It doesn't have to be in NYC! I also like Florida and California!|||I suggest that you go to NYC (or wherever you decide you might wanna live and go to school) and visit all the colleges and universities there...you'll have to do your online research about that one. Spend at least a week in one spot to get a feel for it. Check out Craigslist housing http://newyork.craigslist.org/ to get an idea of what the rent is like. You can also check out off-campus and on-campus housing services of the various schools you visit. Here are some groups you can join to get free accommodation in NYC: http://www.couchsurfing.org/ http://www.bewelcome.org/ http://www.hospitalityclub.org/ http://globalfreeloaders.com/ I've been a guest and a host for many years, and have only had good experiences. Stay away from any hosts who give you a bad feeling for whatever reason, and you'll be fine.|||You can apply for a CUNY school. Some are easier to get into than others and offer a variety of majors to choose from.
