I'm graduated from Columbia University this year, and recently got a job located in midtown.
What SAFE neighborhood do you suggest I look at for renting an apartment? The budget is from $1800- $2200 max. Any other helpful information or tips you have are appreciated!
You should conduct your own research first and then get our opinions on them. Where do you want to live (borough)? What type of building/apt (doorman, luxury, studio, 1 bedroom, roommates)?
Congrats on your diploma! Now, it's time to become a full-time corporate slave.

Not to sound obnoxious, but haven't you already been living in NYC for 4 years? I understand that it may have been in a dorm but I would think given the time already spent in NYC you would have some ideas on areas in the city, Manhattan at the very least, that would be a good fit for you. I know a couple of people who went to Columbia and they were pretty NYC savvy upon graduation.
@jad2k Yes, but I didn't branch off campus very much...I was looking into the Upper East Side, but I think that It will be difficult to find an apartment in the neighborhood in my price range.

I would prefer a studio, I really just need it to be in a safe neighborhood. I'm definitely on edge about living in nyc alone, rather than in a dorm on a campus like I have for the past 4 years.
You can get a studio in the UES for $2,000, as well as Murray Hill which is probably a better choice for you. It is full of kids right out of school who continue pretending they are still in a college campus, and all the roommate/drinking/hooking up/drama that goes with it.

I was thinking this same thing
