You have a job lined up? The city is VERY expensive. What exactly is your plan?
Have you been up there to visit?
I have no job lined up, but I have restaurant/bar experience..I plan on taking a year off school to just work, after I can get in state tuition to finish my bachelors in hospitality.
If you want, I can give you a connect to my cousin, Rene.Any advice for a young buck from south Florida trying to make it in nyc?
yerp. twice in the last 8 months, ill also be back up in November for my 21st. I have two friends who have an apartment in Brooklyn, they both moved to nyc from florida about two years ago.

He'll pay you, all you have to do is hawk some Jamaican energy drinks around the city.
If you need a room, you could stay in my abuela's apartment since I finally moved out and bought a fancy stove.

IMO, it would be in your best interest to have a job in order before you move. You don't want the added stress of job hunting while trying to sort out your life in a new city. Knowing what you'll be doing for work is a huge weight off the shoulders. If I could give you any advice, it would be to take about 5-7 days to go to the city and explore the various boroughs (for places to live or to meet potential roomates or landlords) and also go to job interviews. You want to be as prepared as possible heading into a very new situation. Take some time to really think of your plan of action. Don't jump into things blindly. If you do, you'll be back in Florida in a few months.
Be prepared. Be very prepared.
Where do you plan on living?....What borough?
What's the job that you have lined up?
Are you open to having roommates?
Do you have a girlfriend?
Dude have some grander plans coming to NYC and doing restaurant/bar/hotel work... is this real life I would consider finishing up school in Florida and then making the transition for when you get a better job lined up before coming here. Life will suck if you not making at least 60k solo.
What are your reasons for leaving Florida? Why don't you finish up your degree THEN move? That way, you can bartend - while looking for another job that's more suited towards your major. I don't see the big deal of waiting another 2 years or so to move. NYC ain't going anywhere.
THE CITY FEASTS UPON THE LIKES OF YOU
This. Also, if you transfer there's a chance that some of your credits won't be accepted by whatever school you get accepted to. It makes no sense to move here, work and go to school at the same time. You're adding too much to your plate. I understand that you're young and you don't want to live life without any regrets, but your plan isn't very well thought out. The city will still be the same place as it is when you're done with your degree.What are your reasons for leaving Florida? Why don't you finish up your degree THEN move?

Everyone isn't built to live here.I asked because I have a friend who moved to NY from San Diego. He had a job but the commute was crazy and the city was too fast paced for him. He moved back in like 2 months
People who make six and seven figures ride the trains. Its the most effective form of commuting in the city.i'm cool with having to ride buses n trains everywhere like a peasant.
nyc is only worth living in if you're rich and have a bigass penthouse across the street from central park. and then its probably the best place on earth.
