How to live in New York City for high school?


hey guys. i'm a sophomore in high school and i so desperately want to finish my high school years at a school in new york city. my parents are definitely up for it if i can figure it out, but i asked my relatives over there if there's anything they can help me with but it's not going to work out. i would really like some ideas on how i can live on the upper east side for the rest of my high school experience. money and getting into a school are not problems. thank you!

Get an apartment on the UES, apply for high school. Simple, as long as your parents are willing to move with you.

You wrote, "money and getting into a school are not problems." Well, if that's true, then what's the problem? I mean, just come here, rent an apartment, either with your parents or have them sign the lease for you if they're not joining you here, and then have your parents register you in the school in that district and go there, case closed, no big deal at all really. Good luck!

LOL! Actually, getting into school IS going to be a problem (money probably is, too, but let's not go there.) I am both a NYC public school teacher and I have a daughter who is, right now, applying to high school. So I know a LOT about the high school admissions process. The truth is, the system is not set up for people to enter in 11th grade. Many of the best schools just don't take new admits in 11th grade. You can apply for 9th or 10th grade, but if you enter in 11th grade, you are stuck with the "transfer" schools, or the schools that have seats left (not usually the best schools, might I add.)

If money is not a problem, then there should be this Question. Since you mentioned Upper East Side, we all know you must be filthy rich unless you have no idea what you tawking about. My Rent is 4000 a month one bedroom in Manhattan, guess where?
