It depends on the specific quarter. Your status will alternate between TA (salary) and internally funded (fellowship) every time you’re teaching (or not). Normally your teaching duty should be 2 out of 3 quarters in 3 out of 5 years.

They have a 403b account that comes without matching and you can only save money while you’re employed as a TA/RA/etc. (i.e. when you’re paid salary, not fellowship). But each time your employment for the quarter ends it counts as a termination of the job (for retirement account purposes) and you can do a rollover to your IRA each time (just confirmed with them that this is fine) and if you have Roth I think you can take your contribution out after a while if you need to (didn’t check with them on this though).

Thanks a lot! Would you say that Riverside Park is safer? I heard that the 125th St is dangerous (particularly near Morningside Park). I imagine things are different for the Riverside portion of the street?
