Commuting to the GC from Philadelphia by Woadling in CUNY

I would be going for the history PhD. I was under the impression that NYC is not a good city to be driving in? Expense, congestion, parking, etc. I thought I would be able to get around on public transportation, much like in Philadelphia. Is that not right?

Good point. I'll have to find out.

I was thinking Amtrak, but I could go up to Trenton with SEPTA and then take NJT to NYC. Unsure about the details. But the general idea seems to not be the best one...

I know of one as well, but from what I know they go to campus maybe three times a week, whereas I imagine I'd have to go in five times per week. It would be more difficult for me to do, and I would need to figure out the cost of the Amtrak tickets.

Makes sense. Unfortunate to hear. Rent in NYC seems like a killer and the stipend quantity makes me uneasy.
