One of the fantastic things about our program is the diversity of its surrounding communities. Resident's are free to choose from any of the surrounding areas which range from quiet suburban neighborhoods to the bustling life of downtown Manhattan.

 

Newark

Some residents choose to live within walking distance of University Hospital. There is apartment style on-campus housing available at 180 W Market Street and Townhouses/Condos in Society Hill across the street from University Hospital. Other residents have chosen the Ironbound section of Newark about a 10 minute drive from University Hospital.

 

Hoboken

Approximately 25 minutes by car and overlooking the NYC skyline, it provides direct access to NYC and Newark by PATH train. Hoboken is a young, vibrant community with exciting nightlife of its own.

 

Jersey City

Approximately 25 minutes by car, also directly across the Hudson from NYC, Jersey City provides easy access to Manhattan by subway, ferry and car, while in itself an ethnically diverse community with panoramic views and a multitude of dining opportunities.

 

New York City

Residents have chosen to live in many different parts of NYC, from Manhattan itself to the 5 boroughs. Commute time thus varies tremendously on location and traffic. However, for those residents who enjoy city life, there is no better place.

 

Surrounding Suburbs

Houses and apartments can be found in any number of the area's 22 different municipalities, which run the gamut in terms of housing stock, neighborhood character, and the quality of day-to-day life for their respective residents. The tiny community of Glen Ridge boasts one of the best public school systems in the state. Then there's Montclair, which is a "commuter" community with a vibrant downtown of its own, with an energetic and cultural scene. The town of Essex Fells is also a pretty community in Essex County, and Short Hills is somewhat of a shopping destination, with its namesake, upscale, Short Hills Mall..
