Current Med Student will be in rotations in Jackson Park Hospital. I hear many people stay in Hyde Park and commute to Jackson Park. I am looking for decent place to live that is affordable. Any suggestions? I am planning to use public transporation. Is Public Transportation safe to Jackson Park Hospital?

I would factor your shifts and workload into the decision.

If you will be tired and leaving / entering either neighborhood at times when things are deserted I would be reluctant to rely on public transit.

While far from the worst area of Chicago, Stony Island is also far from the safest...

Stony Island around Jackson Park Hospital is wide-open and bright all through the night. There's good transportation; the #28, 28X or 15 all stop at the door of the place and are gonna drop a person safely in Hyde Park in only a few minutes. Check the CTA schedules. The more active folks can walk to the Metra station at 71st street, about four blocks from the hospital, for a ride to Hyde Park or downtown.

The hospital has limited parking for staff.

I would not consider that a bad area.

Default Stony Island!!!

Beware!!! medical students of this area. Is is the worst area of chicago, believe me. If you're going to stay for a few months while doing rotations, the best thing is safety. From gangs, to thieves, to vadalism. Everyday there is crime along whole stony island. check it out here: http://www.spotcrime.com

It can happen any hour of day, so its best to drive, instead of taking bus. Your best bet is hyde park, or west suburbs .

Not by a long shot.

I think that taking the bus to the hospital is safe. I certainly have taken the bus to the area. As a matter of fact, I drove there yesterday.
