If you’re going to be commuting 3 days a week on public transport map it out - you might get better direct trains from Manhattan and I’d say consider just moving there. The improvement to your dating life and overall quality of life as a 20s women would be worth the extra expense/smaller apartment and possibly slightly longer commute. This is from a 30s something married women who spent her 20s in Manhattan and can’t imagine living in JC in my single 20s. Live your best 20s life and live it in Manhattan.

Okay this comment REALLY made me consider looking in Manhattan plus I didn't know that the commute was so horrendous from JC to Madison...and looks like Penn Station to Madison is much more of a straight shot. I'm now looking for roommates for a lesser price in NYC close to the station because I figure if I'm going to move all the way there mind as well broaden my opportuntieis while I'm young so thank you lol

I love JC. I am 30. Spent a couple of years in manahattan in my early twenties and it was so much fun. The only reason to choose jc over manhattan for people moving here (other than cost) is that the city can be overwhelming if you never have lived in a large city before its pretty extreme. But if that doesn't bother you, you definitely won't regret living in Manhattan for a few years....just don't move to Brooklyn or queens JC is better option
