If you want to go to the projects to practice your boxing skills you should know they don't box in the projects, they shoot.

Nope, maybe because im an 18 year old with **** all money...

First, you have to prove your financial status to be placed in a project (which is like a Council House). YOu must be a legal resident of the US. Check about subletting someplace for this summer if you still feel like pursuing this.

Try Brooklyn along the B and Q trains - such as near Parkside Ave, Cortelyou Rd. or Newkirk. Make sure you are looking at the B and Q, as there's another line that goes through Brooklyn that has similiar sounding stops. Rents are cheap, esp. around Newkirk, the area safe enough and it's a straight ride on the subway (25 minutes) to union Sq. You won't need to change trains. Subway map at mta.info

Check craigslist for summer sublets. You might have a bit of difficulty because often people will want to meet the person they are subletting to before committing, to make sure you aren't crazy (etc.) Could you crash on a friend's couch for a few days when you arrive and look for a sublet then?

edited to say: the areas I am referring to are called Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Prospect Park South, Flatbush, Ditmas Park.

Although im not too sure if I can get a project place, considering ill be a "tourist" for 3 months, is it possible??. Do you think once I cough up some good rent I could get a place in the Projects???

the projects are really a last option...and i definitely would not consider it for an 18 yeard not from this country all on your own....no offense.

Perhaps this person found a place to stay for the summer but I recommend Craigslist to find short-term sublet or room share.
