Woodstock, VT. The architecture & scenery looks nicer.
How about these 2 neighborhoods that rappers grew up in:
Germantown, Philadelphia or Highbridge, Bronx?
I've already chosen: Germantown, Philadelphia.
It's my home, and it has loads of historic character and people who care about the place a great deal. Beautiful twin Colonial, Dutch Colonial and bungalow homes on tree-lined streets share space with blocks of housing built for working folk. Save for City Island, I haven't seen a neighborhood anywhere in the Bronx that has this character: they're far more uniform and made largely of apartment blocks (well, they used to be).
Cross-state jump ball time: Pittsburgh or Philadelphia?

Philadelphia. Pittsburgh is decent & has a growing food scene, job scene, very low cost of living, & has nice scenery, but overall I'd definitely choose Philadelphia. I prefer Philadelphia's urban nature, transit, culture, history, food scene, metro, & location over Pittsburgh. Philadelphia is one of my favorite top 10 U.S. Cities & compared to other cities with great transit systems, large metros, & strong culture, it's cost of living is on the lower end.
2 College Towns in the Big 10:
College Park, MD or New Brunswick, NJ?

Greensboro because it is a larger and nicer city. I like its location and downtown investment.
Salt Lake City, UT or Columbus, OH?
Columbus, OH.
I like Midwest culture and I would be worried about inversions in SLC.
Irvine, California or Naperville, Illinois
