Something POSITIVE about Fort Lauderdale? Being that you are younger you will probably love it here...I positively kknow that I am leaving this area. This is for the younger crowd. Good luck if you do move here

I wonder how the younger crowd can afford it then?

You will love it! Between Miami and Palm Beach, short flight to the islands, short drive to Key West. Lots of young adults, clubs, the best restaurants- I second the real Chinese food- how I miss it! Many active organizations to get involved in, great variety of churches. You'll make lots of contacts for after you graduate. The weather rocks and you can do any kind of sports that you want, other than bobsledding. Beaches, everglades, fishing, diving. What's not to like?!
