St. Barnabas is not a good program...do give your interview but try to avoid it if you can....hopefully you would get much better calls....

  #11

As for Bronx being safe, I think it is a big misconception stemming from the old days of hollywood when these areas were portrayed as crime infested. When ever I go back to my home country (Pakistan), every one automatically assumes bronx, brookly, are dangerous places to live. in my opinion, there are good parts of the town and bad parts of towns every where. same is true for bronx and brooklyn. my cousin is doing residency in brooklyn. i have visited him several times and i never encountered any danger or felt unsafe and i think i would feel the same way about bronx.

good luck.

its not about bronx being safe or not....its about the reputation of programs....SUNY at brooklyn and Mainomides I would say are good programs and on the contrary St. Branabas and Bronx Lebanon are not that good....its the program not the place....
