i do this commute all the time. my bf lives in Montclair, NJ. i take a Montclair Boonton train to NYP.

i usually allot myself 45 minutes to comfortably get myself to campus. i can do it in half an hour but then i get winded, hahaha.

subway is really easy. take the A/C/E to west 4th street. then you can walk down west 4th street and pass all the glorious sights of NYU to get to Mercer Street. (the park, Kimmel Center for Student Life, Bobst Library, the Welcome Center, Stern, Courant). you’ll hit Mercer Street, make a right and then keep walking a few blocks. you’ll see Coles Gym and right across from it is 194 Mercer.

taxi is easiest. you can come out the NJ Transit-side entrance and there’s a taxi stand there.
