Hoboken really nice- and way too expensive for someone making a nonprofit salary, unless you have a parent who is paying your rent ( I worked for a nonprofit in NJ so I know). Jersey city does have cheap rent, but the commute is a pain in the ass and it depends on your neighborhood- I wouldn't live near Journal Square (where most cheaper rents are). Your best bet in the city is Queens or Brooklyn. Queens is probably slightly cheaper, but the commute from Brooklyn is WAY shorter. Just be very careful of the neighborhoods in BK! Some are awesome and some scare the hell outta me.
Good luck!
