Some similarities to other EU countries is, NY has free childcare (gasp), and very easy access to free healthcare (TONS OF CLINICS!)
The state also offers really good financial aid, great community colleges, and very cheap city college (Bachelor's and above) -- which you can qualify for after living here for 1 year. Had I known all of this information 5 years ago, I probably would be much better off.
There is also very good public assistance programs, but like other places in the US, it is very difficult to qualify unless under very specific circumstances. Need to have 6 kids MINIMUM and be missing all of your limbs. :P
