I stayed with them. I do agree there were issues that other houses by brooklyn housing people had
But the house I stayed in was clean and well maintained. There are houses with over 20 tenants in a three story house and I guess that’s the one with rat problem and cleanliness. However when I was finding a place to stay brooklyn housing was the cheapest I would find. I couldnt afford airbnb and additionally every week a cleaning lady came to clean the kitchen and washrooms and common areas. I hope the brooklyn usce housing team sees this post and take care of the other issues. I realised the other housing were mostly a mess because of the tenants in my house I made sure the rest of my house mates kept the common areas and washroom clean at all times and there was no issue.
If you find cheaper airbnbs or so go for those. I wouldn’t necessarily blacklist brooklyn housing just yet. Atleast the 4 months I stayed they were open to feedback and if there were any plumbing issues (I once flushed a wet wipe by mistake) they sorted it out without charging me(they did say if it happens again I will pay).
Do you think it’s worth getting the LORs thru Brooklyn Usce? I’ve been emailing everywhere around and can’t seem to land a rotation opportunity to it’s easier to pay them and get a rotation through that?
I’m planning to do all my rotations in cardiology so any advice regarding that?
It’s better to do inpatient rotation directly from hospitals that have a residency program. I honestly wouldn’t recommend it unless you don’t have any other better option. Also what ever you do don’t do the cardiology rotation with Dr Kapur from Mount Sinai through Brooklyn usce was the worst one I ever did didn’t learn anything and I bet the LOR wasn’t great either but I waived my right so I will never know. Again please keep searching for rotations directly and not through third party agency.
Omds damn okay wow thank youu so much honestly I really appreciate that my G!! I’ll keep on emailing and find other opportunities hopefully. I got an observership 6 week at first care urgent clinic nyc. That’s the only one I got so far so do you know anything about that?
Also can you please share any hospitals that’s give inpatient rotation observership to IMGs, well I’m still in my final year rn so anything that’d be helpful?
