<p>A friend who attended Adelphi some years ago lived in a private apartment in a nice suburban home within 2 blocks of campus, so within walking distance. I remember that it was a safe neighborhood and that she had very nice amenities.</p>
<p>If I remember your previous thread about housing near Adelphi correctly, the grad student wants to have some entertainment options and be in a fun neighborhood. I don’t think you’ll find a lot of that in Garden City. If it’s any consolation, grad students are often too busy to spend a great deal of time socializing. It seems as if leasing a car might be the least expensive option - the student can live in a congenial neighborhood near the school with an inexpensive car lease for a lot less than it costs to live in the least congenial neighborhood in Manhattan.</p>
