Phoenix.. (Mesa, Chandler, Maricopa: health, colleges, moving to)

[rickynovak]

I am highly considering moving to Phoenix with my girlfriend, but I need help before I do with just a few quick questions:

Are there any community colleges that offer a course in cosmetology?

Is there a healthy asian population?

Would you say Phoenix is a big city?

Random questions, but if anyone knows it would help a great deal,
thank you in advance.

costmetology -- yes. Search this site using that major as a keyword:

Maricopa Community Colleges Programs & Degrees

There is an Asian population; I don't know about their health (Sorry, couldn't resist). I think you're asking how large the population is. Answer: Small compared to most of the west coast, but growing. Dobson Road in west Mesa and Chandler is where you'll find the biggest concentration of east Asian restaurants and groceries

Big city? Sort of. Phoenix is the 5th largest city and sits at the center of the nation's 13th largest metro area. In terms of both population and land area, it's quite big. Nevertheless, it's low population density and relatively small Downtown lead some to complain that it isn't a "real city." I don't buy that complaint, but you should be aware of it. Basically, you can find just about anything you want here, although those things may be scattered throughout the metro area instead of being tightly clustered as they might be in an older city.

I really really appreciate your reply
haha
Ok so that's enough evidence to convince my girlfriend to move there, perfect.

Thanks again, you've been very helpful!
