Thanks!

It sounds like you're trying to move somewhere thats cheap but safe. Realtors are never a necessity, unless you're in Manhattan.
If you want to make the most out of you're NYC experience, look into Astoria.
But if you're not able to afford it, Sunnyside would be better than Woodside and Flushing. Jackson Heights/ Elmhurst is cool for young people too.
Walk around the neighborhood and ask each super if there is a new room available. He/she will say yes or no and show you it. But you must go in the day time
