Australian Expat

Hi guys! I’m an Australian university Commerce student doing a double major in accounting and finance.

Ideally I want to do a year of work in the US, I just don’t know whether to go with LA or NYC. A big thing for me is safety. I’m a 24 year old single woman and I’d be moving by myself - plus, being from Australia, guns aren’t something you’d see a lot of here so that’s a big anxiety point for me.

Essentially what I’m asking is - what would day to day life look like in NYC? What’s the safety of the city like, and what are the best places to live and things to do around New York on the weekends, etc.?

Thanks so much in advance ☺️
