xXIDaShizIXx Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 So what states do you guys think are the best to live in after graduate school? Which states / cities are the friendliest and which are the worst? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avflinsch Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 The best place to live is wherever the jobs are. That being said, I really loved living in Boston many years ago, before returning to academia. xXIDaShizIXx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant, say you were able to find several places which place would be the best in terms of the friendliness of the people? I know that can be a relative topic to the person answering, but still worth getting some perspective on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vestigialtraits Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I'd stay away from Louisiana. The food is great but that's about it. Politics, weather, and people are all over the place. Fun for a visit but that's about it. Lived here all my life, ready to escape..I mean move away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the danger of driving alone at midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm cautious but I wouldn't consider it dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need Coffee in an IV Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 My perfect location is near/in the mountains, mild in temperature, decent cost of living and relatively close to a smallish city for work. But that sounds tooo perfect. I know the jobs I want to get after grad school I can't be too picky. I know the furthest southeast I can go is South Carolina. I can't deal with heat and humidity at the same time. I also have to take in account my boyfriend's feelings as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
