<p>No, she’s headed toward the Adelphi U, Garden City campus - see <a href=“Where single grad student to live with easy access to Adelphi Garden City campus? - Parent Cafe - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/parent-cafe/1624050-where-single-grad-student-to-live-with-easy-access-to-adelphi-garden-city-campus.html</a></p>
<p>Questbest – if you (or your d.) is attending grad school full time, it is insane to think about living in Manhattan in your situation. You would be paying an incomprehensible amount of money for rent to live in not-particularly-charming part of midtown Manhattan - and then putting yourself in the position of a fairly long commute by train every day. I am sure that you can find a very nice, and much less expensive, apartment in or near Garden City - and ride the train into Manhattan on weekends. </p>
<p>My daughter works full time in Manhattan in a building very near Penn Station. She attends grad school in the evenings in lower Manhattan (NYU) – and she lives in Brooklyn. (Very happy with the arrangement). </p>
<p>I don’t know what rents are like in Garden City but I honestly can’t see why anyone in their right mind would choose to commute from Manhattan, especially given your apparent unfamiliarity with neighborhoods. Whose footing the bill for the rent on this apartment? What is the price range you are looking for? </p>
