What impressed you positively?

What are your general comments?

"I hopped on the Express Bus from the city in the morning. The ride was not bad at all, $4.00 exact change only. It was as safe as I can get in NYC. My interview was in another location and I was sent off in a limo cab (for free). There are restaurants and stores around. I don't know what some previous posts were talking about, but you would have to walk around to see. From the previous posts, I thought that the surrounding neighborhood would be bad, but it wasn't that bad at all. It's representative of the diverse population of NYC. You would be living like a real New Yorker (a perspective living from another borough) and not a Manhattanite. " Report Response
