If you had to pick one of these cities...
- Thread starter Fran101
- Start date
England is a back-up plan at this point. I love the idea, I love London... but the job itself gives me reservations and frankly, being that far away from my family (realistically I'd be able to visit at most once a year with my work load) is a little too much.
Right now the top contenders are..
- Toronto
- San Fran
- Austin
As for city size, bigger the better. I HATE the country, suburbs and small towns with equal amounts of vigor.
Toronto reservations at this point are really just freezing my butt off.
Austin I just worry about it being Texas and you know...Texas.......
(I can say that because I'm from Florida and am equally as cynical about it lol)
and San Fran is just getting a lay of the land and finding a place to live and commuting within the budget.

WOO!
Austin is awesome...so not like the rest of Texas. It is on my short list of cities I would consider moving to except for it does stay hot for a lot longer than I like (I am a seasons girl and like some winter. But the city itself is just awesome, we visit ILs usually once a year and DH went to school there)
Houston and Dallas - ick
San Fran I am sure would be awesome but yeah, its san fran and whoa cost of living.
Toronto would also be super awesome.

I visited Atlanta and thought it was very nice. Clean city (what I saw of it), nice people, and I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be pretty cheap real estate especially a little outside of the city itself.
I lived an hour north of Houston (was born in Houston) for over half my life, but as far as the actual city goes, I'm not sure. It's supposedly not the greatest.
Toronto sounds really cool to me. Never been, but would love to visit.
San Francisco is somewhere I would definitely live if I had the money. It's supposed to be really nice.

San Fran or Toronto... I haven't been to San Fran, but I would love to go! I have friends there and they just love it. Hello Diversity!
I've visited Toronto and loved it.
I personally wouldn't want to live in Texas... I do like North Carolina, but I've only lived in Eastern Carolina. I know it's beautiful in the mountains, but I know it's not "in" the mountains. I've only flown out of Charlotte once.
I heard Atlanta is a pretty town, but I don't know if I'd want to live there.... How long is the fellowship? Will you be paid?

Is it a paid position? And abouts how much?
Rents in the Bay Area and especially San Francisco are pretty crazy right now. If you want, I can pull some ads for you!
It also isn't actually warm in the city. Warm compared to Canada, for sure. But it is a big deal if it is over 70 degrees. But you can head across the bay to Berkeley or Oakland and it is much warmer.
I have some colleagues in Austin and it sounds like a lot of fun.

San Francisco is amazing; I've loved the time I've spent there. It is expensive, but it's really beautiful and there's tons to do.
I got to spend a week in Austin this winter, and I LOVED it, but we were down on Sixth Street, so I didn't see much of the 'day to day' areas of the city. It was fun, though, and I liked almost everyone I met. My boyfriend was a little skeptical about visiting Texas for that long, because the couple times he's been there he has had some issues with racists, but he didn't encounter any of that in Austin. The live music was great.
