Hi everyone. So I'm feeling the itch for change. I grew up in Las Vegas and then moved to a suburb of Atlanta in my early teen. Atlanta is nice but I would really love to try a different State but don't even know where to start because I am being picky. If you have any suggestions that would be amazing. I've listed things I am looking for in my hopefully new town! Thanks
- Small town
- walkable
- not extremely conservative
- near or in the mountains
- apartments near the area
- commuter school accessible*

Don't need a job? Usually tell people to find a job first and then ask what surrounding town meets their criteria.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions! Right now I am just trying to get a list of places and then I'm going to start job hunting in the areas.

Also, when you say a small town, how small are we talking about and what is the limit in terms of how big this small town should be?

Well I guess by small town I mean has a Walmart and basic stores like that but not more than 20,000 people. Also for weather I like everything. I prefer colder temperates and rain.
