Its not like they have to stay in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens or Bronx after graduating. I would gladly take 4 years of tuition paid for by the state in exchange for sucking it up for 4 years working in NY even if I had to live in North Jersey and commute into the city if I landed a job in Manhattan lol.
