NYC Summer housing near JP Morgan

Hey everyone,

I'm working at JP Morgan (in Midtown) this summer and I'm looking for a place to live. A couple of my friends are using EHS (http://www.studenthousing.org/) and living in 55 John Street (in the Financial district) but I am kind of concerned about the 25 minute commute to the office. Any suggestions on where to live? EHS? NYU or Columbia housing? Any other options? I would prefer something that wouldn't be too complicated (as I am leaving to study abroad soon).

 

NYU housing, any of the Union Square dorms: Third North, Coral (shithole), or Alumni. Get on at Union Square, get to the office in

Found one last year for $1300 including utilities (split between 4 roommates). 'Nice' relatively speaking vs. EHS and NYU, especially if you plan on being there before training or sticking around for a couple of weeks after you get your offer

 

20 minute commute is not a big deal... JPM used to reserve suites in the NYU dorms at Lafayette and Canal...from there, you hop on the 6 train to Grand Central and then a 5 minute walk to the office. 20 minutes door to door. You can shave off 5 minutes if you catch the 4 or 5 at Union Square in transit...and living with other people who are interning at the same bank can be a lot of fun.

 

There's only a meal plan requirement if you choose the traditional style, which no one in their right mind would do because there's no kitchen or common room that way.
