Thank you, I appreciate you checking me and being honest. Would you say it's a better idea to live in Manhattan somewhere over the summer? It seems like commute times would be less there and I don't have to live in or around Chelsea.

Would you happen to have any advice on finding roommates? I don't know anyone else from my internship who is moving to NYC. I'm from Baltimore (hence the username) where finding your own place for $1300 a month in a relatively nicer area is not difficult at all. I think I have been looking for places for myself rather than looking for something with other people. I have a solid budget of $10k which the company is giving me to move out and rent for 3 months on top of solid hourly pay.

Thank you for letting me know I have been getting mixed advice from people around me in person.
