Summer Housing goes FAST!

It is almost impossible to find housing in NYC if you wait til the last minute. I advise that you get movin' NOW and start applying! Below are a list of preferable options of undergraduate housing. This list includes dorms, apartment-style dorms, and apartments.
1. New York University summer housing. Goes fast, so apply NOW. It's usually filled by March. Almost everyone loves living here!
2. Webster Apartments. Where I'm living this summer! It's owned by the Webster family and since it's considered a philanthropy, they offer cheap housing for single women interning or working in NYC. They offer maid service, two meals a day, and your own single dorm room for only $250 a week! I'm working on a getting a discount if there are enough interns who apply through this site! So be sure to mention The FashionSocial.
3. New York's Craiglist. While it may take a lot of searching, you can find some awesome places for a good price! My friend and I shared the master bedroom in an amazing apartment we found online with two adults in their upper-twenties. While we were a little nervous at first, it was awesome! Our roommate Paola worked as a fact-checker at Vogue, which was fun to hear about!
4. Columbia University. Really far up north... wouldn't advise it if you are working below 60th street!
5. The New School. I haven't heard about housing here, but my friend goes to NS and loves it! Also, its a fashion design school, so there are probably some cool people there! Possibly a lil' emo, but it makes life more interesting, no?
6.Polytechnic University. This place is in Brooklyn, but right by the 2 line, which will get you to Times Square in 20 min! Plus... its $35 a day for a room! Good inexpensive option.
