How Torturous Would It Be If...
How torturous would it be if I chose to commute to the Financial District (as a first-year analyst) from Queens, New York?
Here's my estimated commute time: 10 min [from my house to the station] + 40 min [train commute] + 5 min [from station to office] = 55 min
Is it really worth to commute nearly an hour every morning as a first-year or should I rent a one-bedroom downtown (I expect to have a lot of college loans to pay off)? How much would it cost to do so?
If so, ideally, I would be looking for a loft (>1500 sqft) in TriBeca for $1000/month.
...If you believed that, you must be a fool.
A 55 min commute would be the end of you. I strongly recommend you don't do it.
Live close to the Lorimer St. stop and you can be in Union Square in just a few minutes. With the express trains you can be in the financial district really quickly. In the morning you will probably have a half hour door to door commute. If you are an ibanker and you stay late they pay for a cab or give you car service home. You will save lots of money even with the $76 metro card. If you have student loans and want to save you should consider it.
can't u get an apartment in astoria/long island city if u wanna live in queens and u can still commute easily
i have an hour commute from home to my internship in Chicago... and it works out fine. then again i have to be there by 9, not sure what time work starts for you...
1,5 hour commute owns my day. Just an intern at a boutique though.
Brooklyn if you are working downtown. Stay within 8 stops if you can.
Also consider a roommate. You will never be home anyway and can save money. I paid $1150 my first year and lived ten minutes away.
Bad idea. When the subways experience massive failures (like they did yesterday) a commute that's an hour on the best of days will really be a nightmare.

agree, and it's going to be some strange delay or detour at least once a month.
it's a horrible idea.
