Both are great cities and among my top 5 favorite in the USA.
The COL is much more manageable in Philadelphia, and I prefer the geographic location of Philadelphia with proximity to both NYC and DC and close to many great beaches in 90 minutes.
Providence, I love the culture, vibe, and architecture of that city
Buffalo, New York or Indianapolis, Indiana?
Indy. I do like buffalo, but the areas declining population is depressing. Way more snow than I'd want. Though there are other areas I'd choose over Indianapolis, Indy is underrated, IMO, and is pretty livable. Has some nice suburbs. I've found it a good place in my visits there.
That part of CT is easily accessible to NYC and Providence, which are two great cities, and close enough for a day trip to Boston too.
Ohio has no appeal to me. Not being rude, but Dayton is too isolated and I am not a big fan of the midwest outside of Chicago.
Spokane, WA or Lancaster, PA?
Lancaster. Eastern Washington is too isolated and dusty. Besides, Lancaster is one of the nicest small cities on the East Coast, with a lively downtown and Amish country surrounding it.

Lawrence, Kan., or Ann Arbor, Mich.?
Lawrence. More affordable. I'd rather be close to Kansas City than Detroit.
Champaign, IL or Bloomington, IN?
