Now we're getting somewhere. Sounds like its on, or West of 8th Avenue. That means the A,C or E train.
First, I recomend that you completely forget about Staten Island. Its beyond boring, and the commute is loooooooong. You would first have to commute to the ferry terminal. Then you would have a half-hour boat ride. Then you would board the 1 train, or the N or W train. Neither have transfers to the A,C or E south of 59th Street. I could go on, but you're looking at a nightmare commute. Probably 1 1/2 to 2 hours per direction each day. And when you get home, you're in Stranded, I mean Staten Island. With nothing to do. Not fun.
The easiest commute will be near the A,C or E lines, or where you can walk across a platform for a transfer, like the F or G trains. The L train also offers an easy transfer, and it serves up and coming neighborhoods in North Brooklyn, where you'll find a lot of college educated people close to your age. The B,D, F and V trains offer an easy transfer at W. 4th Street. The 1 train offers a bizarre transfer at 168th Street, but it works.
To make your life easy, here are neighborhoods that I recomend by borough:
The Bronx:
Kings Bridge
Riverdale
Spuyten Duyvel
Brooklyn:
Bushwick
Clinton Hill
Fort Greene
Greenpoint
Park Slope (might be too pricey)
Prospect Heights
Williamsburg
Manhattan:
Inwood or Washington Heights WEST of Broadway
Lower East Side (if you can find a place, you'll have a blast)
Queens:
Jackson Heights
Woodside
I think that you'll be happiest in Brooklyn or Manhattan. You'll find more things to do.
