That's a bit of an understatement...it's way outside the city. If you want an NYC program for the outside of work aspects of it, this is a bad choice.For Northwell, it seemed very friendly and welcoming, but I've heard they're still on paper charts there, and it is kind of a ways outside of the city.
There's also a subway. And a bus. And bikes. And cars.For NYU, obviously a special place, amazing training, but the prelims are going to need to take the ferry out to Lutheran half the year, and I'm still not sure how I feel about that.

No idea about the paper charts, but...seriously? in 2017? Hospitals still do this? Places with 15 inpatient beds near me have EMRs.

NYU has their own ferry though? That would be amazing.
You are reallllllly out of your element in this discussion --
Northwell owns 20+ hospitals throughout NY, including Lenox Hill, which is an inpatient facility on the UES of Manhattan. So it's highly inaccurate to say they are way outside. Thus, a Northwell residency might be anywhere in the five boroughs. If you're one of those people who thinks NYC = Manhattan, then I suggest you revisit a map, as Brooklyn stretches nearly as far as some of the original Northwell flagship hopsitals (LIJ and Northshore Manhasset). In fact, LIJ is within the borders of Queens (in other words, NYC).
As for NYU -- they don't have there own Ferry, bro -- Dear god, it's supplied by groups like the East River Ferry probably in cooperation with the Port Authority -- you know, to service the millions of people who work in lower Manhattan but live in Brooklyn or Staten Island?
I'm appreciating the discussion so far guys. Northwell prelim for me would be only at Northshore and LIJ (so out there Queens). So there's that. I could live in Queens, even like LIC/Astoria (the "cooler" neighborhoods), though would need a car. I've never commuted by car in NYC, but I'm worried that it could be pure awfulness.
NYU does have their own ferry for this purpose actually. But the worry is more that it doesn't run very late, so would probably miss the last ferry on the reg, and therefore commuting by subway back to Manhattan for about an hour. Something that I'm sure will be not so fun after the really long days. Could live in Brooklyn-definitely an option.
