Technically if you're living in Essex County or Hudson County, your commute is actually shorter than living in some other boroughs that are also outside Manhattan, like Brooklyn or Queens-and it's still within the NYC area (Manhattan area).

Can anybody tell me more info about the grad housing in the University Regent building?-It's the housing I was most interested in. It's located on West 27th street in the USC area near by Hoover Street + Jefferson. What is the neighborhood/area like?--is it safe? I know friends have told me the whole USC area (main-campus + off-campus housing) is very safe--except the outside areas (Compton is like 13-14 miles away). Any insight to the building or the area? Thanks!
