How To Live In New York For The Summer

Transcription

1 housing resource guide Though PTC Productions, LLC does not provide housing for interns, we can make some suggestions. We most recommend the residences that we've listed first and we very strongly recommend against signing a lease on an apartment without first seeing it -- if you cannot secure a place in one of the residences it's often a good idea just to find temporary housing for your initial stay and then find something more permanent once you're here. Please plan to spend at least $800-$1200 per month for housing during your stay cheaper housing is rarely available and never safe. Let us know if you have other questions.
