<p>Thanks for all of your replies…Yes I am the daughter of questbest using my mom’s CC. I knew that I would get a lot of sound advice from people here. </p>
<p>To clarify, I AM interested in attending Adelphi in Garden City. I do want to try and live in Manhattan if it is all possible and am willing and eager to have room mates. I know I will be commuting at least 3-4 times a week to Garden City but that leaves 3 days that I will be in Manhattan without the need to commute. And in my second year of the program, I definitely want to be placed in Manhattan to do my clinical work as I hope to make strong connections in Manhattan and live and work there upon graduation.</p>
<p>I am not at all familiar with Manhattan and safe areas which surround Penn Station (if there are any). I am willing to give up space and frills in order to live in Manhattan. </p>
<p>Is the LIRR from Garden City a safe ride back into Manhattan if I were to travel at 8-9PM after I leave my evening classes? How “safe” is it for a woman to arrive at Penn Station at around 9 or 10PM at night?</p>
<p>I appreciate all of your help! I understand that it may sound as though it “makes sense” to live in Garden City, but when I think of living in Garden City vs the opportunity to live in Manhattan, I am willing to give up space and convenience to make this happen. The only thing I do not want to give up is safety.</p>
