Me and my friend live in CA.We're juniors and we are thinking after high school,to move to New York on our own.Is this a realistic goal? We come from middle-class families, so we aren't rich and neither of us work. Are there schools in New York that offer housing? Should we wait a couple of years?

Only if it is upstate New York and not New York City. New York City will take a lot of money !!!! a lot !!!!! and even more. You better have a credit card with a very large limit.

The cost of living in New York City is incredibly expensive so make sure you have a good income. There are good colleges there and lots of other schools but the good ones are very competitive. Just make sure you have a solid plan before you go. Good Luck!

There are plenty of schools in NYC that offer housing. I'm from a middle-class family and I live on campus at St. John's. Its in Queens and offers guaranteed housing to all freshman. There are a ton of other schools in the city that also offer housing too. NYU and Pace University are both in Manhattan and they offer housing all over the borough. There are too many schools to list that offer housing in NYC. You could also live off campus if you want. There are plenty of neighborhoods throughout New York that you could live in and commute to school. I would definitely recommend getting a job soon though. You're going to want to save up some money for sure. Hope this helped. Good luck.

Stay in California and just don't come over here period. Don't live here to pursue whatever far-fetched dream you have. If NY isn't already in your blood (as in you're not a native, you have no family or friends here, etc.), then there is no valid reason for you to come here from far away. Utterly ridiculous.
