nyc: I'm going to school in NYC in August. When should I begin contacting apartment managers? I'm basically looking for a 2BD in either Brooklyn or the Bronx. Thanks!|||You should contact them as soon as possible. Also, consider asking them about the no fee option, which I'm sure many apartments are offering now. If you've got some funds to spend and is looking to live in a surrounding with a dash of luxury, try the Upper West Side's Columbus Square. They're actually offering the no fee rental at this time to promote the grand openings of their new apartment buildings.|||You should start doing that right about this minute. Good luck
