..how did you find out about such an amazing living opportunity?? I'm hoping to move to New York in about a year and what you're doing sounds absolutely amazing - especially to a student who finds the out of control rent costs a little overwhelming! I am so excited for you though, I wouldn't have even thought that an arrangement like that would exist. And designed by Stanford White too-I'm an interior design student and I definitely understande the importance of that! Congrats again!

Hi Brittany, I guess it's one of those "who you know" kind of things. My uncle (well really older cousin) is a member of the club that owns the building, is actually the VP, and is the head of the house committee, so it was his duty to find someone for the job. My aunt mentioned it to me at my SIL's baby shower, thinking I might know someone who would be interested, but obviously I was interested! I still had to go through a formal interview process and was selected over two other candidates, so my uncle couldn't just waive me in ... but yeah it's not something that I would have heard about without his help. You are right, NYC is intimidatingly expensive. When you really are close to moving I'll be happy to recommend the realtor who found my current apartment for me, and to talk with you about neighborhoods, etc. Good luck; it's a tough process! Best, Panda
