I am very familiar with the Paramus area. the question you must answer is do you have a car. If so there are motels and hmes in the area. The best way to find a place is to use craigslist for places to live and look up motels on the onternet. They are on route 17. Not cheap but its only for 6 weeks. On the other hand there are buses from the Port Authority bus terminal on 42nd street in New York to Paramus. If yo go to NJtransit.com you will see buses. do mapquest and you will get how long it will take from where you live in New York to get to Bergen regional.

Hey Singer,

Thanks so much for your speedy reply. I do have a car but I also was interested in looking into public transportation just to avoid the hastle of parking, gas prices, and having to drive to New York from Chicago. If you think that having a car is a priority or will make things a heck of a lot easier then I will definitely opt for that. In the meantime, I will start searching on Craigslist for a place and check the bus schedule per your advice. Any other info you can provide is more than appreciated.

Hey guys, I'm in my 4th year doing rotations here in NYC at different hospitals. It is a nice clean room available ASAP in a house for ROSS students only. We are all ROSS students in the house so it's nice if you ever need anything and it's a safe, clean, quiet place to study. One room is open in a 3 bedroom apartment on the second story of a private house in a quiet, safe area. The whole apartment is newly renovated with fresh paint and hard wood floors, new kitchen and bathroom fixtures. The room is approx 10'X 11' and the kitchen and bathroom are shared with myself and one other person. The rent is $650. There is the Q4 bus line 1 block away, you can also ride it 10 min to the E,J,Z lines and also the air train to JFK. If you have a car like me, there is free parking in front of the house with no street sweeping regulations which is so nice and unheard of in NYC. It is pretty convenient for ROSS students that do rotations in NYC like myself. I have been living here for 6 months with no problems and am loving it.
If you are interested please call me at (214)783-3712

I went to Bergen Regional a couple of times a week during my Psych rotation and I can't imagine not having a car. I believe that there are busses from the Port Authority, but do they drop you off in front of Bergen? Let's say they go to Paramus somewhere and you have to transfer (I could be wrong about this, just speculating) to another bus. Add to that your transportation to the starting point at the Port Authority and you could easily be doing two trains and two busses each way.

You put in a full day at Bergen. Signout is late in the afternoon. The days will get really long.

I had an away elective and tried the Craig's List (online)/hotel route for those 5 weeks. Nobody really wanted to rent to me for such a short period of time and I spent a lot of time on this. The cheapest way was to get hotels on Priceline, but even that added up that was on top of what I was paying for my apartment. In the end, I met someone at work who invited me to live there for half of the elective and it ended up saving me a lot of money.

My advice: you'll need a car for 6 weeks. Check with the school if they have a house near Bergen for students like you. Call the director's secretary and ask does she have any ideas for students in your position, or ask other students ahead of you. You might be able to find a short stay or "executive hotel" anywhere between the Lincoln Tunnel and Paramus (Secaucus, Rutherford) but it won't be cheap.

The only good thing is that it will be a reverse commute.

Good luck.

Hi! i'll be finishing up here in dominica this Dec. Anyone have any suggestions on apts in Miami? I looked into airport villas..has anyone stayed there recently? Any feedback would be great! Thanks

Hi! I might be rotating in miami for a few weeks. Not sure where...may be Jackson memorial or Larkin. ANyone know of a place for rent or someone who might need a female roommate for a little while?
I might also be going to Weston florida at CLevland clinic....any info about housing there?? I'll really appreciate any help.

another thing to look into is www. sublet . com- it cost ~20US for a 6 months subscription, but it is great for looking for furnished places for a short period of time- my roommates and i used it when we had to come up to Long Island after Ivan- found a great place (5 bedrooms = 2900US/month in LI!!) for 4 months- was very helpful!!
