    Considering a move to New York for fencing

    Hello, I'm a Connecticut resident considering moving to New York for a few years and doing some real serious competitive training. By serious and competitive I would be fencing as much as possible and nationally competing as well. However, lacking much money to get a move started I was wondering if anyone has an idea how I could start in finding a low priced apartment or perhaps even a fencing roomate to take me in for at least a year? Any help would be of great appreciation to me! and oh yes, is it easy for an 18 year old to find a part time job in the city?

    Well- apartments are expensive in Manhattan- and part time work is hard for us 18ish folk... but epee in the city is strong, and fencing epee can be pretty cheap. I know the NYAC gives gate-passes for free fencing there, if you are proficent enough of a fencer. Also- Brooklyn fencing has a growing, strong epee program, where we have some strong coaching and strong fencing going on. PM me for more info about fencing in the city.

    Just don't live in manhattan and are you going to school?
    Would you rather have a giant ape always behind you and provoking you or have to shoot every single cashier you ever come in contact with in the head with a low powered bb gun?
