Mileage may vary depending on how much you want to take trains/buses, but I found it just as easy to make it into the City as staying in Queens or Brooklyn.
Sōcrātes Johnson Ferry Cross the Mersey (@socratesjohnson.bsky.social) reply parent
Jersey City/Hoboken/Secaucus might actually be a good choice, and you either have connection to the PATH or express bus service to PA that's not easier than it should be.

I also recognize that infrastructure/planning especially in a lot of suburban areas has killed walking/cycling to school. But this stuff is ridiculous and often completely unnecessary.
Sōcrātes Johnson Ferry Cross the Mersey (@socratesjohnson.bsky.social) reply parent
I do sympathize with the jxdns where bus enshittification has hit hard, but there's a good amount of places (like the district where I went to middle and high school) you had people disrupt the traffic for dropoff/pickup even when there was a full bus system.
Sōcrātes Johnson Ferry Cross the Mersey (@socratesjohnson.bsky.social) reply parent
I'll probably upset someone by saying that carline pickup/drop-off should carry a fee and the people blocking the street when the campus is closed need to be ticketed for obstructing traffic.

Not sure if its the same in your side of town, but Kroger used to be a pretty reliable source for all sorts of stuff like that both the Decatur and the Glenwood stores. Weirdly wide selection of brands for that and ramen of all things.

There has to be a glitch in the matrix. Me, notoriously weirdly shy but also very talkative as a defense mechanism to guy who walks in with a neat hat: "Hey, not trying to be weird, but I really like your hat." Him: "Oh, it's from my company." Dude apparently runs a hat shop. He has a card.

Sōcrātes Johnson Ferry Cross the Mersey (@socratesjohnson.bsky.social)
So we used to play a sport called adventure ball that literally had a rule where even if something went against the official rules, someone could call "cool shit" and there would be a conference and vote if cool shit had occurred. If cool shit had actually happened, call went to the the team with CS
