If you could spend your 20s in any city, which would it be?

Poll will be put up soon, I call it the 20 options of your 20s poll.

Ideally a city for such a group should have a great nightlife scene, many opportunities for making friends/not feeling isolated (since 20 somethings generally do crave friendships), offer excitement, and be a city that 20 somethings would generally love.

It would be Lubbock, Texas for me.I am not really into lots of nightlife.I know that it is far from most people's choice.I feel like I could meet people there.

Atlanta, Miami, Houston, LA.

Not just because of parties or nightlife, but because of varied opportunities for multiple demographics.

I'm in my 20s. So far I've lived in NYC for my entire 20's, and it's been an adventure to say the least! So I'm going with that just from my personal experience. Yeah the cost of living makes it tough, especially for younger people, but it's really fun and rewarding. So worth it!!

2010's Brooklyn is lit!!

I implemented other points that I didn't mention; the other cities that I'd also personally include are DC and Philly. But what I meant by varied opportunities is excelling in careers that also involves the arts and such. You know, art, photography, acting, internet media, music, and etc. That's also including aspects such as the Weather, COL, QOL for multiple demographics, Diverse Nightlife, and etc.

What makes any of these cities better places to spend your twenties than NYC?
