Longneck - 2015-04-02 10:18 AM I am going to live vicariously thru you and tell you to DO IT!!!  (and then I can come visit you in NYC ) 



I wanted to do what you're doing, but already had three years invested into my boyfriend (now husband) and he was worth more to me than packing up and moving. (I also was also on a hiatus from horses at the time.)  If I was to go back in time and be single during the period that you're at then I would do it in a heartbeat.  You either love NYC or loathe it.. and I think you either want to be there 24/7 or never again. 



As long as you're attending school or working (i.e. not just being a hermit in your apartment) I would think you could make friends pretty easily.  A roommate would certainly help with expenses, but if you think you could be comfortable making it by yourself then that's what I would go for... but I do better independently than having someone else around most of the time.



Good luck!!  I'm extremely excited for you!!
