<p>As I'm looking into more and more college, location has gone from being a minor factor to a huge factor. </p>
<p>I am really looking for cities with exciting urban lifestyles. As a someone from the suburbs, the prospect of living in a city seems amazing. So far I have made a starting list: Philadelphia (penn), nyc (columbia), ann arbor (umich - still have to visit), pittsburg (upitt/cmu - still have to visit), boston/cambridge (harv/mit) </p>
<p>What are some good cities to live in? Somewhere exciting, vibrant, popular, not so dangerous, clean and not filled with hobos :(</p>
<p>atlanta and detroit</p>
<p>Well, you’ve got some great areas listed, I can’t add a lot. I think California or Hawai’i would be cool, but I’ll keep it to somewhere I have been: Washington, D.C.</p>
<p>I like the suburbs.</p>
<p>Vancouver fits all of your criteria except for the part about hobos.</p>
<p>Can anyone please give me advice on how I can do well on the AP US and AP English Language Tests?</p>
<p>Can someone please give me advice on picking my outfit for school tomorrow?</p>

Where’s that thread… not going to bother. I recommend Fuddruckers</p>
<p>You mean Fudpucker’s…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Same difference :D</p>
<p>Hawaii, like Hawaii Pacific or U of H. (Chaminade is kind of eh)</p>
<p>^I wish there were more colleges in hawaii :(</p>
<p>Any of those Hawaiian colleges (including Chaminade) will help you out just fine in the Hawaiian job market if you’re looking to stay in Hawaii.</p>
<p>D.C, Bay Area, Boston</p>
<p>I second seahawks’ suggestion of Atlanta and Detroit. Also be sure to include South Central LA and South Boston.</p>
<p>Northampton/Am[h]erst area
Boston
Coastal california
Seattle
NYC
basically any metropolitan or somewhat metropolitan area, preferably with neighboring colleges.</p>
<p>Boston is an awesome city. It’s huge, a great college town, and the thing that blows my mind is that it’s CLEAN. I wore white shoes for walking tours at BC, Harvard, MIT, and general walking around throughout the city for 5 days, and my shoes were still white. I’m used to the Philthy-delphia environment. I also love DC for its busy, fast-paced environment, but its not exactly a college town.</p>

<p>Really? I was under the impression that since it has 10+ colleges/universities in town and has a very vibrant, diverse and youthful population that it was definitely one of the best college towns in the US. During my stay at Georgetown, I felt like the surrounding area was very college-friendly and welcoming. The club/bar-scene was fantastic … the only thing that would cast DC out as a college town would be that it’s relatively expensive to a college student’s budget.</p>
