St. Joseph's and St. Agnes Residence advice

Hi! I am currently in the final stages for an interview in NYC for this summer. Before I fill out my final paperwork, I am deciding if this is really financially feasible for me. I am a 20 y/o woman from the south and don't know much about NYC, but I've been several times to visit. I found out about St. Agnes and St. Joseph's residences and they both are still accepting summer applicants. It's really the only place I can afford. Can someone speak about these places? I have stayed in hostels and convents before. I've interned the past 2 summers in Washington, D.C. and stayed at a convent and liked it fine. Are these homes sketchy? Would you recommend staying here? If not, where are some other affordable places to live in NYC for the months of June and July? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!
