Hostel:

I used to live in Brooklyn and commute every day to my school in the upper east side of manhattan. My commute used to be over an hour long. I moved out because my clinical was 7 in the morning and located 2 hours away from me, which would mean that I would have to wake up at 4:00 to catch the 5 am a train which I could not possibly do every week. Living on campus was a great use for me because although it was a bit far from my main campus (20-minute train ride ) it was in the same building as my nursing school so I could just get up out of bed and get to my classes in 5 minutes. I moved out purely for the convenience. there is no meal plan here. You have to cook on your own. I know some people who moved in with roommates but rent in NYC is expensive and will cost around 1500$ or more for a small shared apartment. My dorm is around 2.6k a semester and that's considerably very cheap.

I applied to hunter college when I was a senior in high school because it had a good reputation for a CUNY school. CUNY schools in NYC are located in the city and cheaper than your traditional private college and it was the main reason I applied. the admission process was easy. I also applied to 4 other CUNY schools because you could apply to them under the same application with no additional application fee. I also applied to private schools and SUNY. I was accepted to 11/12 schools; denied for Columbia and waitlisted for NYU. when I applied I had a 1480 SAT 31 ACT and 93 GPA.

Hostel:

I am Living at home off campus and commuting to school daily. On my commute, I have the opportunity to do homework and get work done on the train. When I am home I rest and do my homework and catch up for the next day.

This college had the least amount of yearly tuition and is known for having a good pre-med program. I also wanted to go to a school that was within close proximity to where I live. I did not want to travel too far and the commute to this school is just right.

Hostel:

I lived off-campus both in Brooklyn and queens and the commute was not too bad from either location. The dorms I believe are located nearby the school with others being further uptown as far as Harlem.

Good English programs as well as teaching programs which I was at a time considering pursuing and it offered affordable tuition that my financial aid covered. It was an easily accessible and beautiful location in the city.
