Bwog recommendation:

If you don’t mind sharing a space, 548 W 113th is the perfect place to experience NYC apartment living without losing your proximity to campus (or having to apartment-hunt in the City). With studio doubles ranging from 200-300 square feet—each with its own kitchen and bathroom—this is one of the most spacious campus housing options. Make sure to choose your roommate well, because residents are responsible for keeping the space clean. There’s also no security guard, so you can tap in an unlimited number of guests!
