Don't do it. Transfer to a different school or try to make your experience at your existing one better. It's a big risk moving to a new city without money and trying to make it work. Don't ruin your safe and stable situation.
- zaidf 16y agoI don't think it is a big risk. I don't think you have to ruin your safety. And stability in your late teens and early 20s is overrated imo. Knowing what the average HN user is capable of, I don't think moving to SF is a huge risk in terms of survival.
- idefix 16y agoThat makes no sense. Being an HN member does not grant you magical survival abilities. Also, despite being an awesome place to be, SF is expensive to live in.
- zaidf 16y agoBeing an HN member does not grant you magical survival abilities. There is nothing magical about a large percentage of HN's members possessing a valuable skill(ie. programming, hustling). Also, despite being an awesome place to be, SF is expensive to live in. Agree. But there are enough hacks around it. Dining out too expensive? Cook at home. Apartment too expensive? Commute to SF on BART or get an apartment in the Tenderloin. etc.
- particlebanana 16y agoI completely agree with transferring to a different school. There are plenty of places outside of San Francisco with great startup scenes and great schools. Cities like Austin, Boulder or Boston all have growing startup cultures and incubators where you can stay in school and find great people to pursue an idea with.
