hey sucke--um, new class people...
saw some posts about living stuff, thought i'd add my unsolicited $0.02. i live in Forest Hills, Queens, and am DPC so had to be at school every damn day last year, but it's been a great place to live. wouldn't have lived closer for the world, no matter a measely 20 min less commute. godawful 'burbs. anyway. Forest Hills is nice, convenient to the GCP and the LIE, has everything you need in walking distance (24 grocer, movie theaters, barnes and noble, starbucks, restaurants, etc.) and is only 20 min by express subway to the first manhattan stop. if your car breaks down, the LIRR is here, too, so you can still get to school. it's easy parking, easy drive to brooklyn for those hipster-inclined, and just generally a nice place to live. i like that school and home have been two distinct things, even if i study a lot even not at school. the mental separation was a lifesaver. i am, though, a "non-trad" and not one for massive isolating indoctrination type frattish living.
