in no particular order: University of Michigan, UCSF, Cornell, Children's Hospital Oakland and Childrens National Medical Center
 
UCSF has a $600 per month housing stipend to help with costs of living.
CHLA has subsidized housing.
I believe Columbia also has subsidized housing but the rents are still astronomical (at least $1200 per month to rent a place).
 
600 is like a drop in the bucket in San Fran, CHLA's subsidized housing is a dorm life and really not suitable for residents with kids, and Columbia doesn't have subsidized housing, Cornell does. Wish I had thought of those things before interviewing 🙂
 
Well, either don't go to the programs or live somewhere (and potentially have a longer commute) that's cheaper. You really can't have your cake and eat it too.
 
I could have sworn that I was told at my interview that Columbia offers $2,000 housing stipend.
As far as rent, Washington Heights/Inwood probably has some decent deals as far as Manhattan rent (1200-1700 for one bedroom). Columbia also offers parking that is 70$ out of the paycheck bi-weekly. $140 isn't too bad for parking and might expand commuting options.
 
In the alphabetical order :
Children's Hospital of Michigan
Cincinnati Children's Hospital
Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital
NYMC Westchester
Suny Downstate
 
Alpha order:

Cleveland Clinic
Scott and White
U of Arkansas

Cannot wait until match day. So anxious to find out where I will be, especially because mine are in such different geographical locations.
 
In order (why not?):

Dartmouth
University of Virginia
University of New Mexico
duPont
University of Chicago
Cleveland Clinic

Coordinating a match with a highly specialized spouse's job hunt stinks. I love the first 8-10 programs on my list. The real suspense is whether he'll get a job in the locations that we think most likely. Which particular location I'll go to get good training is not a big deal, unless it traps him somewhere he can't get a job.

Rochester
CHoP

Pemberley -- I, too, liked DHMC a lot. I did my undergrad there, and the region always feels like home. Best of luck for that one if you want it! Its a lovely place to live.
