Hey guys,
Not sure if anybody considers Jersey City but it's another location to think about. I'm currently living in Jersey City and I can't complain. The commute to downtown Manhattan is a breeze via the PATH. It takes me around 40-45 mins to get to Baruch (PATH to World Trade Center, then take the 4/5/6, the green, line uptown to 23rd). Once you're at WTC, it's pretty close to Chinatown as well (it's a decent walk but definitely do-able).
You don't even need a car since you can get to Shop Rite by taking the Light Rail ($1.50/ride). The light rail also stops at Newport Mall. If you love night life and hang out late in the City, it might be a bit of a pain since the PATH trains run less frequent at night....but other than that it's pretty good.
I'm not sure what the rental market is like but you can check http://www.jerseycityonline.com and maybe http://newjersey.craigslist.org if you're looking for a roommate.
