Traveling within New York City Buses and subways are generally the most efficient and cost-effective way to get around in New York City (and the green alternative to cabs and cars). If you are not a NYC resident, you’ll soon learn the ins and outs of public transportation in the city – your fellow students and Program faculty will be happy to help you find the best travel routes around the city so that you can take full advantage of all that NYC has to offer. Do not hesitate to call the Biology Program office for help if you want to schedule a visit to the Graduate Center or to one or more laboratories at the CUNY campuses.
