Yeah, if $ is an issue stay away from renting in the city and look for a place in Brooklyn or Queens. You'll save yourself a bankload and depending where you end up, you're an hour train ride max to the city at $2.25 a ride. The trains run basically 24/7 so you shouldn't have issue to get anywhere. You can probably find roommates (if you feel comfortable) advertising and saves yourself half the rent. Check craiglist and other such websites.
