Housing in NYC is like no other city. Both NYU and Columbia rent housing during the summer to students interning or working in the city. Prices are reasonable for the city. Search their sites for Res Life for details.

Hi there, I'm friends with the President and a number of members of the Alpha Gamma Delta NYC Junior Circle. Send me a private message and I will give you her email address. You can get ahold of her and she should be able to send an email out to the JC and see who can help you out. I know 1 member was looking to sublet her place, but I'm sure that has been snapped up by now. You never know, though, someone may lend you their couch for a month.
