So with Harrisburg out of the question, what are my options? I need an area with a lot of potential for socializing with professionals my age (25ish) and a vibrant night-life. So either an urban area like that or one of its sub-urbans. I'm not seeing any area nearby with that potential, please enlighten me if I'm wrong.
Thanks!

YBP - don't rule out Hbg. or Hershey just because you think it's rural. There are many areas nearby that aren't dangerous or boring. Hershey is not rural; it is more affluent exurban than anything. It might be a little slow for a young person, but there are many intelligent professional people there. As for vibrant nightlife, you aren't going to get that anywhere but Philadelphia, Baltimore, or NYC. Nothing in Central PA fits that bill. But your quality of life can still be awesome nevertheless. In this economy you have no business turning down a job offer........
