New York University Tandon School Of Engineering - [NYU Tandon], New York, Brooklyn - Reviews

• I found my accommodation through Facebook groups that usually go by names like "NYU housing", "Brooklyn rooms for NYU students". Facebook groups are probably the most popular medium for finding accommodation for Indian students in the US. There are tonnes of apartments (or flats) that are advertised every day on these groups. The most important thing to consider while finding a place to stay is to find the right roommates to stay with. For me, finding accommodation was a smooth process. I found a couple of seniors who had a room empty in their apartment, and I went for it. My roommates were very helpful.
• However, a lot of my friends struggled due to the very different lifestyles of their roommates that caused a lot of tension and drama. I recommend people first look for 2-3 roommates to share an apartment with. This can too be done through Facebook Groups, Whatsapp groups or even in discord. Make sure that your group of roomies discuss their day-to-day lifestyle with each other so that you can make sure that there won't be much friction among them. Then comes the apartment hunting.
• There are a tonne of landlords who keep students as tenants in the apartment and don't really ask for any salary slips or bank statements. I do not recommend going for brokers, as it is not very difficult to find a good place to stay, and therefore it doesn't make much sense to pay an additional broker fee. 

I applied to MS CS elsewhere, and got rejected from all places. This was the only US admit I had. The other one was in Europe.
