There are only two, Queens' University Belfast and University of Ulster. Queens is by far the best.
Near is a relative term. East Rockaway, New York, is in Nassau County, although it is frequently confused with Far Rockaway, which is in Queens County. East Rockaway is too far from Brooklyn to walk, but you can travel between the two by car, crossing from Nassau County to Queens County to Kings County (i.e. Brooklyn) in less than an hour.
Nassau County is on Long Island. Long Island is divided into four counties. Two of them -- Kings and Queens Counties -- are also boroughs of New York City (Brooklyn and Queens, respectively). The other two -- Nassau and Suffolk Counties -- are part of New York State, but not part of New York City. Brooklyn and Queens (Kings and Queens Counties) are on the western end of Long Island, and Suffolk County takes up the entire eastern half (it is by far the largest of the four counties). Nassau County is sandwiched between Brooklyn and Queens and Suffolk County.
Nassau, Suffolk, Queens
Technically, Queens is on long island and Queens is a borough, but when you get to a certain point of Long Island, it becomes a different county and it is no longer Queens county. Also, at that point, only the Long Island Rail Road goes out to the far ends of Long Island, the usual trains stop at a certain point. Who knows, maybe it's just my Queens bias kicking in :)
