While Pace supports biology fellows, it does not support biology immersion fellows. City College is the only institution for fellows assigned to Manhattan that offers a master's program for biology / general science immersion fellows. For those who do not know what immersion is, here is an explanation:
NYCTF offers two "immersion" programs for fellows that have taken significant coursework in either math or science, but do not have a degree in the field. In practice, the difference is two more weeks of training in science or math content with an extra $1k tacked onto the stipend for the summer (and apparently a narrowed pool of universities).
I know last time I said I felt somewhat disappointed, but I've reconsidered. Now I am excited. As I am not bound to Queens for any reason, I will look into apartments near City College to minimize my commute. It would be nice to learn a new neighborhood and just feel some change. Sure there will be some obstacles like figuring out if/when I can break my lease, searching for an apartment, etc., but I welcome the challenge. Thankfully I will be able to afford a one bedroom instead of a studio - living in a bread box gets old.

Don't forget to e-mail me your resume and cover letter! Good luck with the move, it's a really nice area up by City College, lots of brown stones.
