Top 5 cities that new college grads want to move to in the US?

<p>here’s my ranking:</p>

<li>New York, NY</li>
<li>Los Angeles, CA </li>
<li>Washington, DC</li>
<li>Chicago, IL</li>
<li>San Francisco, CA</li>
</ol>

<p>just wondering what the popular destinations are</p>

<p>I go to college in New York City, I’ll likely stay for at least a year or two before moving on. A lot of my interning experience is in television so far with CNN, NBC, likely HBO or ABC Disney in the fall so I’ll likely move out to LA.</p>

<p>Walt Disney is apparently an amazing company to launch a career in media/television so that’d put me out in Burbank near LA if they recruit me next year. I really want to move out west eventually. I’d love to do a joint MBA/JD program at Berk or UCLA.</p>

<ol>
<li>LA</li>
<li>San Francisco</li>
<li>Seattle</li>
</ol>

<p>My personal preference is Chicago and then somewhat indifferent between Austin, Houston, Minneapolis, San Francisco. I’m a Midwestern boy, not really a NYC or LA fan.</p>

<p>As far as the average person? The list would be made of NYC followed by LA, Chicago, Washington - the last spot is a huge toss-up between many cities.</p>

<p>I’m a little different than you guys in that I have no real desire to go to some of the more popular (and expensive) cities like LA, NYC, DC, Chicago and San Francisco. For me, I want to live in a place that’s warm, has good job opportunities and is relatively affordable.</p>

<p>For me, a Texas guy…

  1. Austin
  2. Houston
  3. Dallas
  4. Atlanta
  5. Charlotte</p>

<p>I’m with crs here. And being from north carolina I’d like to stay in a southern environment.</p>

<ol>
<li>Charlotte (great culture and strong banking)</li>
<li>Atlanta</li>
<li>Austin</li>
<li>Dallas</li>
<li>Houston</li>
</ol>

<p>If I couldn’t get Charlotte I’d preferably find a job in Chapel Hill, Charleston, or Savannah but they’re not really cities.</p>

<p>Haha, I’d like to be anywhere except for the OP’s top 5 cities. High cost of living blows.</p>

<p>Logically, the more desirable locations for most people are the ones with a higher cost of living.</p>
