NFT: *Official BBI Helps BeezKid Find a Place in Queens Thread*

Beezer : 5/13/2021 10:57 am
Some of you have met the BeezKid. Been a while since those Albany camp years. Very proud of the guy, but also, feel old with me - he was accepted into his graduate school program of choice at his top choice, St. John's.

So, BBI ... turning over all stones here. He's in touch with the university about grad housing, which is not yet determined but possible. In the meantime, he's looking into places nearby that the university "works with" for off-campus stuff not too far from campus.

We'll plan a drive down but would like to have a plan for at least a few targets first.

So, BBI brethren, have suggestions that we may not have thunk up yet? Just beginning the hunt, so any ideas are welcome. Thanks.
Geez, we are getting old

my brother just signed a new apartment least in Manhattan. Signed a 12 month lease, and got 6 months free. With so many people leaving, there are deals to be had.

It’s safe. That’s the number one thing right now. Crime is surging. My friend was robbed at gunpoint on CPsrk West and 70th at 9:30

I think Molly lives in Queens

These apartments are close to the main campus and the neighborhood is decent.

Astoria rules, and as far as I know it's still cheap

It's 15 minute subway to midtown Manhattan, and it's full of bars and awesome restaurants.

I was in my 20s there in the 1990s, so maybe it's changed but I don't thing by much
Good luck at Grad School to Beez Jr.

I used to live on Utopia Pkwy just 3 blocks from St. Johns.
When I was a kid, I used to sneak onto the St. John's field to watch Joe Namath and the Jets hold their training camp. Namath was awesome. I was a dumb kid. I didn't know it was open to the public.

St. John's was the first law school to accept me. I was thrilled. I could walk there. Then I found out that the Law School was located on Schermerhorn St. in Brooklyn. Thanks, but no thanks. I went to Fordham Law. Three years after I graduated, they moved the damn law school from Schermerhorn Street to the Queens Campus. The rest is history...and just as tedious.

You missed an opportunity for Geez Beez. For shame, Jon.
Grew up a stones throw away from St. John's

You can use this to find stuff in Jamaica Estates, Hillcrest, Kew Gardens Hills, Briarwood & Jamaica Hills. All those places are pretty safe and would be really close to school

Went to St. John's for Law School. Lived in an illegal rental my first year, but it was close to the Law School and I am still friends with a number of the other people who were part of this illegal rental.
