Here is a link that has a list of apartments near MCC: http://www.monroecc.edu/depts/reshalls/documents/OffCampusHousing2006.pdf , look on pages 10 and 11. I had a friend that lived at Rustic Village and that is basicly right accross the street from MCC, but it doesn't look like they take first year students.

Question: What's better: Bronx Community College or Monroe College?

In terms of finance, education, atmosphere. I want to major in computer information systems. Plus I work 35 hours a week now. What is life credit?

I know that since Monroe is a private college the tuition is double that of BCC. BCC is reputable and you can transfer your credits (if needed) to almost any four year college. It is of course a 2 year school. Monroe is more of a school for working adults tho. They grant life credit and really work with you to complete your degree although you have prior commitment.Both campuses are beautiful. And both schools have a good reputation. I would suggest to you Monroe since you have a full time job. However if tuition is a big deal, then BCC is the college for you. (Also the computer science degree at BCC is mostly a stepping stone and the credits should be applied to bachelors degree once finished) http://www.bcc.cuny.edu/DegreePrograms/DegreePrograms.cfm?DegreeID=33 http://www.monroecollege.edu/academics/schoolsandprograms/informationtechnology

Question: Is monroe college in New York any good?

How do you define "good school"? Because no, it's just okay. It is a real school, though, and it has the right type of accreditation. But no, it's not exactly NYU. Will you have a blast there? Are you looking at the Bronx campus, or the one in New Rochelle? For the one in the Bronx, it's right in the heart of the Bronx, and quite close to another university - Fordham. You'll literally have NYC at your feet. The New Rochelle campus is more suburban feeling, but even that has easy access by train to NYC - about a half hour to the heart of Manhattan.
