I can not emphasize enough how magical it can be just to walk down a city block on a spring afternoon and be carried away with whatever catches your eye. I have been here for over 10 years and proudly call it my home. The best thing about first experiencing New York was wandering around the city and letting people, places, and things find me.

My advice to newbies is to take time every week to explore somewhere new. This city is vast and rich with culture, so digest it gradually. The places and people here will serve to inspire your creativity and enhance your world view. It's like no other city in the world, so get here and embrace it!

My advice to those relocating to New York while studying hair is remain open to all different types of people and follow your curiosities and passions and use your interest in hair as a wonderful excuse to get to know people and the city. You’ll also meet a lot of students from the area as well as those who are new to the city. Very quickly you will see New York open its heart to you and your social calendar will be full very quickly! For those who don’t know anyone and are looking for roommates, I recommend using one of New York’s many roommate agencies that screen people looking for roommates for a small fee. It’s a secure way to find great apartments with reliable, friendly roommates.

I moved myself from California to New York now 8 years ago and have never looked back, thinking that I made the wrong decision. Theres so much excitement, entertainment, inspiration, and places to explore that there is never a dull moment. Its so easy to over look the apartment sizes when theres so much more going on and you'll really never even spend much time there any how. My only recommendation in moving to a city like New York is to stay friendly and open to others and to be open to exploration and new adventures.

I like Meg's advice to have regular hangouts. Moving to NY was overwhelming to me, but once I learned to tune out the millions of people, it got much easier.
