Greetings.
I may need to move, and I already want to move, so I thought I'd query my betters for some moving advice.
------------
Requirements:
a. Spacious "apartment." e.g. genuinely large studio apt.; 1 BR apt.; loft; small, formerly industrial, "live/work" space; tiny house with not tiny garage; etc. I don't care about looks, so long as it's clean & well maintained.
b. CHEAP rent. (I can get a two bedroom apartment in Norman, OK, with access to a coed-stocked pool for less than $700 a month. If there are no coeds included, I should pay less! ;-)
b. Served by, and within walking distance to, a train running 24/7, including holidays. (I work odd hours very near Penn Station.)
c. Mayberry'ish. Or at least reasonably crime free.
d. The combination of rent, utilities, and commuting should be within $1K a month.
Additional Info:
- I'm a single, adult college student (www.cosc.edu), so a long commute on a single train would be acceptable. (I must study somewhere.)
- I'm kind of warming to the idea of living in upstate NY, but I'm not wedded to it.

Based upon my web research, a "Cortland" (N.B. no "t") type town located where "Cortlandt" (N.B. "t") is would be swell. Do I have any chance of finding such a place, or must I continue trying to transfer off to a Blue state?
Thanks in advance!
Cordially,
Richard

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Nobody knew just what to make of three items heavily wrapped in white packaging and duct tape outside the Philadelphia Phillies' ballpark.
So, a few hours before Wednesday night's game, someone called the police as a precaution.
The bomb squad showed up to detonate the three packages. Turns out they contained hot dogs.
The wrapping that made them so suspicious was so the team mascot, the Phillie Phanatic, could fire them from a hot-dog launcher.
The franks has been left behind inadvertently after a commercial photo shoot for the hot-dog maker.
Team vice president Michael Stiles says Phillies employees aren't bomb experts, so it made sense to call the police.
