@suzyQ7 I am a native NYer. 15 minutes from Fordham to midtown Manhattan by helicopter sounds right. The B, D, or 4, 5 to the Grand Central area is well over an hour plus any walk. Well over an hour.
I don’t see any value in internships during the school year. Summer internships are great but nothing I have seen puts a kid at a rural or suburban school at a disadvantage. Companies want a broad group.
