Info on some NY/NY/CT teaching hospitals

<ol>
<li>I had a job offer at Metropolitan Hospital many years ago and the surrounding area was not good, but it is very possible and probable that the area has improved since then. Would she be commuting home alone late at night? </li>
<li>Lenox Hill Hospital is in a very nice section of Manhattan. This would be my top choice. </li>
<li>Paterson NJ is not a safe area during the day, let alone late at night. Ulster County is probably ok, and West Point is great. Hoboken is a very nice area of NJ where many young people live and it is close to Manhattan ( a few minutes). </li>
<li>Bronx Lebanon Hospital is probably ok during normal business hours. I would not want my daughter traveling at night especially alone. </li>
<li>I am not familiar with the others, although Bridgeport has some areas that are not safe ( my brother went to school there). </li>

<p>Where is your daughter living during her rotations? Manhattan is busy during all hours of the day and night, and it is not unusual to see restaurants packed with people at 11:00 pm during the week. That being said, I personally would not take a subway alone during odd hours. The city is safe as long as you are careful. Transportation is great in Manhattan. I am not sure about Hoboken as many travel by ferry and I do not know the hours. I am sure there is a train. I would not travel at odd hours by train to hospitals in the Bronx. There are buses but I do not know the hours of operation. </p>
