So far I am! Of course, I haven't been in an actual discussion, and it's all been smiles and giggles, so once that wears off and the work begins, it'll be fun.
I was going to wait for a studio apartment to come into my price range, but then my coworker mentioned that he needed a new roommate, so I went for it. I'm kind of glad since he's been on his own for a while and can help me out with stuff.
And yeah, NYC is definitely not cheap, so good luck with that!
