Yeah I live in the suburbs. If something like an event, meeting up with someone, etc. is going on in the city I just drive in.
Granted I don't live in NYC so it's much easier in the city I'm in.
Nice. I do enjoy drinking and I was wondering how I would get back from the city after happy hours at bars.
How do you manage that? Crash at a friends place, uber, etc?
I think the key is to be close to downtown. I live 5mi from downtown in a Tier 2 city in a luxury building with a gym and pool. The Uber there is like $9-$12 which is reasonable, but depending when I come back surge Uber can drive the price up to $20-$30 to come home. It’s worth it though not to get a DUI. I pay $2,350 for a 2BR.
Also, where I live there are a bunch of young professionals and there is a pool party practically every Saturday and Sunday, so that’s nice.
Pay up and live in the city, if you’re a new grad. You don’t want to be 45 years old having a crisis because you wanted to save $100/month on rent and live out in the burbs with boring families

Live in the city for a year or two and then move out. Suburbs makes it much harder to go out, dinner, casual brunch... spend ages 23-25 doing these things, you have the rest of your life to be in the burbs
Caveat is if you can live 15 min to downtown. But if it's 45 min away you just won't go out of your small town much.
Good point
Lived in the suburbs as an analyst to save money. Terrible decision. Savings on housing were nice, but I rarely ever did anything. My limited free time was allocated to the commute, and by the time I’d gone home and changed on a Friday I was too tired to to bring myself to spend another 45 minutes each way getting somewhere. When I did go out I could spend easily an extra $100-$150 a night on roundtrip ubers. Quick weekend brunches and impromptu meetups were out of the question.
You can save yourself some of the commute difference in some cities that have nice inner ring suburbs, but that usually also comes at a higher price and eliminates the cost differential.
The suburbs have their place if you want to raise a family somewhere quieter and more controllable, but it’s a pretty shitty place to be if you’re in your early-mid 20s and social. I moved into the city a few years ago and haven’t looked back since. Not sure I’ll even look at the suburbs into my 30s or 40s even now that I’m in a long-term relationship, and my partner feels the same way

It really depends on the city. If I was in NYC I’d be in the East Village.
Hm I’ll prob just find an apartment with garage parking.
What does 'troll' mean in this context?
Live in the city the first few years and enjoy the experience. It's certainly worth any slight extra expense.
Then once you find someone you want to settle down with, do just that and settle down with them in the 'burbs.
Live in the burbs sure OP just dont come back here and complain about why you arent getting laid
