How could you consider moving to a place you've never been?
Grow up and take the NYC blinders off.

Really?
What's ALOT?
How many make it?
Are you suggesting it's a good idea to move to one of the most expensive cities in the country without having seen it beforehand?

Assuming you move with a job/career (or the means to support $1400/month in rent as seems to be the case here), yes there would be no reason why you can't "make it". The situation with the OP isn't "I want to move to NYC and I have no job lined up or skills and can only afford $300 in rent", as we see with far too many posters on this forum. The situation with the OP is "I'm graduating from college soon and I can afford $1,400 in rent, where should/can I live?" Although the OP has not stated where the income for the rent is coming from, $1400/month in rent money and presumably a college education with marketable degree/skill set means that she's not going to be floundering. Now, whether or not she will actually LIKE NYC, is another question.

Agreed but OP has not disclose any preferences or needs. His/her request was too general.
In addition, at the risk of sound like an a$$, there are tons of similar threads on this board. Perhaps he/she should do a little search on CD to gain some general information first then ask some specific questions.

Listen Up!!! You are not listening to what other posters are telling you. You need to give up a lot of background information before we can recommend or not recommend any neighborhood.

Do you want a hip vibe?
Do you want quiet and green?
How about the commute to work? How long would be acceptable?
Do you prefer a studio or one bedroom?
Do you see the pattern here?

With no info for us to help you I'll just say at this point to just grab a neighborhood out of a hat! What else can we tell you! Come on girl, get with the program!
