Hello, thanks for the help! I really appreciate it. These are definitely some crucial points to keep in mind. It is impossible to know whether I will have a friend with a vehicle so the whole thing sounds a bit concerning. Thank you for such a detailed reply.
Hello, I have been applying to various graduate programs and haven't heard back until now but I still can't decide which city I want to live in. I have never lived in the US before and checked other forums to gain some more information about these cities but I would still appreciate some help. What is there to do in each, are they lively cities? I have some clue about NYC but not as much for New Haven or Palo Alto.
