Albany is pretty far from Valhalla, where NYMC is located. NYMC is just a metro north ride away from NYC, so you might need about 5-6 hrs to go from one to the other.
about a 3 hour drive once you get just outside of NYC. I can't say exactly how long a bus ride would be. Med school admissions are crazy; Albany was one of the first schools to reject me, but NYMC interviewed me and Tufts and SLU accepted me. I really didn't like the idea of spending 4 years in Albany, so I'm not in the least unhappy that I ended up in Boston, but I have heard very good things about AMC.
