Congrats! Forest Hills is a very nice area but pricey. Let me know if you have any NYC questions.

Thank you girls so much for the offers to help! I really appreciate it! I may just have to take you up on this advice.

Congrats. As everyone has said, Forest Hills is great...and a little pricey. I grew up in St. Albans, Queens which isn't far from Jamaica Hospital, so feel free to ask any questions!

Congrats! It must feel wonderful to know where you are moving!

Great News! Like other city dwellers have said, feel free to ask any questions. I've heard FH is nice but I've never been there. I mostly know Astoria, North Brooklyn or Manhattan. Glad to hear there will be another member in nyc!

Thank you again! I feel so very blessed to know that there are so many people out there to help and lend advice! I probably won't need much help until it gets closer to the actual time to move. We don't have the exact dates yet, but from prior years I have deduced that his Orientation will be around Apr. 19th and his start date will be around May 3rd.

Those dates are really sucky!!! For those that don't know, we got married here in the Caribbean this past April and are having our Formal Catholic Wedding home in New Orleans this coming April. These dates mean our honeymoon to Greece, Italy, and France will either have to fit in before our next wedding or not anytime soon. I just found this all out right before I was about to start paying for things for the honeymoon...

He'll be doing the 6 week Kaplan retreat in Atlanta from Jan to mid Feb and taking his Step 1 in early March, which means we won't get scores until right before the wedding...I mean, while I think he will do great...We can't exactly get a place until we know for sure. That pretty much means I will be going straight from my wedding to NY...Therefore, I am so grateful that I can get help because I will definitely need it!

The one good thing about NYC renting market is that you don't need to start looking way in advance. We got both of our residency places within 2 weeks of the moving date.

Good luck with wedding planning and Step 1.

Haha, yeah, and if you try to look too far in advance, you'll probably end up moving earlier than you wanted.

2 weeks is all you need, but I feel safer starting 4-5 weeks prior.

Congratulations on knowing where you're going next. Not too familiar with Forest Hills, but I lived in Woodside and rode the 7 train for about five years, and I've always thought Queens was a bit underrated. NYC is a great time!

Congratulations!!!

It's so good to hear of families getting OFF the islands successfully! Thanks for sharing!!!

I'm late here, but congratulations! It's so nice to know where you're headed. Hopefully you'll be able to stay in one spot for most of his clinical rotations.
