Monkeys,
I've lived in NYC my whole life and it has always been my plan for where I'm gonna live post-grad. However, I just started my freshman year at Vanderbilt and I'm loving everything about the South (music, food, drinks, people, etc.) I just wanted to get some of your opinions on some other cities I should look into.

If you like the south, look into Dallas, Austin, Atlanta, Charlotte, New Orleans, and of course where you go to school, Nashville. If you prefer the coast and don't need it to be a "big" city look into Savannah or Charleston.
💀 these cities are all dead af. You want to be somewhere with a genuinely global reach/influence/reputation and a great social scene. In the US? Chicago, Miami, LA, NYC. Maybe Austin.
Yeah that’s why I said I’m listing off Southern cities. The only thing “southern” about Miami is its geography
Budapest
Hottest women, beautiful city, low cost of living
Budapest is great but funnily enough I’d rather not live under a de-facto dictator
Come to Dallas
Please stay out of the south and keep that liberalism out of our sacred grounds.
Sounds like a safe space!
Nashville is very distinct in terms of a city. You will not find that elsewhere.
Could you explain that a bit, I've haven't visited yet but I've been meaning to go there for awhile.
I would recommend NYC, but since you've been there done that, I would recommend SoCal.
^ agreed. OP, I’d seriously recommend looking at cities abroad. Do a few years in a large European city. London is ideal. After that, fuck off to Asia and open your mind to the other side of the world. Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore are great options for careers. Further if it interests you check out Australia. Melbourne and Sydney are seriously awesome cities where I’d happily live
San Diego, Denver and Atlanta are underrated IMO
Would you say San Diego and Denver are suitable for post u-grad people? Pacific Beach seems like all college kids. Been to Denver once and loved it.
PB is probably the worst part of the city that you could have mentioned haha. Would look at Encinitas, La Jolla and Northpark depending on your vibe
Denver is basically undergrad 2.0. Lived there from 24-28 and it was like college all over again. The city is full of mid 20-somethings and most are single transplants that are looking to have fun and explore the state. Almost every weekend during spring and summer was camping with a big group or going out to the bars. In the winter it was either going out in the city or going up to the mountains to ski at Breck/Vail and going out there. Hard to find a better spot for your 20's imo.
bruh what, everyone and their mother is going there. Rents are increasing a lot there, they are no longer underrated, but you're right in that they are fun for sure.
Love living in the South after growing up the NE. I live in Charlotte now and its great. The worst part is NC's insane alcohol laws (no HHs, no bottomless mimosas, shitty state-owned liquor stores, true bars must be members only, the list goes on and on). Wish I was making these up, but I'm not. Along with the state income tax, it definitely makes Florida and Texas a lot more attractive.
....
The sale of alcohol in NC is managed by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Commision (ABC). There are no private liquor stores, only ones run by ABC. So basically, what you end up with is no competition for liquor sales or the really nice stores/warehouses that you see in states with a private system. Restaurants cannot have alcohol (liquor, beer and wine) account for over 70% of sales and this is audited by ABC. If you go over, you must be a private club with members that pay dues to belong (yes this is an actual thing, I wish I was joking). On top of that, restaurants and bars cannot sell discounted drinks unless it's for the entire day. Then there's just a ton of small things that I keep learning the longer I'm here. For instance, if you have an app to a restaurant to get rewards points, you can't earn points on alcohol, nor can you redeem rewards for alcohol. Lastly, alcohol sales must end at 2am and everything must be consumed by 2:30am. All this being said, there's still "bars" and a nightlife scene, but tamer imo than other cities bc who wants to open a bar and follow all this shit?
Pretty sure all of these are in the name of limiting drunk driving, but I don't know how forcing places to sell discounted drinks for an entire day instead of three hours accomplishes that lol.
I do like Charlotte so far, but this was definitely a shock coming from a state with a much more lenient system.
