I lived in the T building. At $235 a month, its not too bad, but the living conditions aren't the best. It is a small dorm room size, twin bed, desk, and dresser. No wifi or cable, but you do get local channels if you have a tv. Rooms have a sink and its community showers(separate stalls). I would usually get home late so it didn't really matter because I was so tired I would jsut pass out. If you are looking for something cheap, short term, and just to get through the rotation then do it. I knwo other people lived in Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, coney island, and manhattan. a few others lived in queens, but i think it is a long commute by train.

The best thing about T is how close it is. I usually got there at 6 am, but woke up one day at 630 and was on the FLOOR at 640, so that is kind of convenient. But if you do decide to live there, don't go in with huge expectations because its not much.
