For those of you familiar with the area or currently at medical school, I can't help but notice the abundance of residency programs in NY, specifically Manhattan and Long Island.
For the Manhattan programs, what are the options living arrangements? I know some programs offer housing and "reduced" rates which brings them down to sky-high in relation to the rest of the real estate world. But do people live outside the city and commut into Manhattan? Where? Possibly Long Island or do they cross the river and commute in the NJ?
For the Long Island programs, where do people live? Is commuting possible or does is take too long? What is Queens like vs. Brooklyn vs. the Bronx?
Any other thoughts on the far east programs (Stony Brook)?
Any anwers to any of the questions would be great. I've been to the city (Manhattan) several times before but never got out to LI so I have nothing to go on.
Thanks
