Come to Philadelphia! We got the best museums, best food, best arts, and the best urban park. Plus it's American history's Mecca.

Dude, how much does Philadelphia's tourism board pay you to post on here? Philadelphia isn't a very good match for what the OP wants. It seems like you just post the same **** for every single question, no matter what it is. Honestly, it's getting old. Even the hardcore _____ city people don't suggest their city even 75% of the time.

NO!! Medford is friggen cold as heck!! were surrounded by mountains of snow! not to mention the job rate is pretty darn low here. You may get a JOB or two but between them you Might...Might get 35 hours at best.. A lot of my friends work two or three jobs just to pay rent at $700 for a two bedroom apt outsite the ghetto's..

A house rental on the average is $900-$1300 a month for 2 or 3 bedroom. rediculous!!

Yes because an average high of 48F in January is SOOOOOO cold...
Also Medford only gets 5 snow days and about 100 rain days.

San Luis Obispo sounds incredible but the problems in California do concern me. I will still check into it though! And for Medford, 48 average high in January is like a heat wave compared to the 30 degree average high we get in Indiana in January And that kind of rent is about the same as we pay here where I live. It is a very white collar town, overrun with Engineers and corparate folk so rents are jacked since they think everyone makes that kind of money. A typical 3 bedroom house here rents for around $1200 a month, unless you want to live in the meth neighborhoods then you might get one for cheap. For a divorced mom making $40k it's not very affordable to live here. My 3 kids and I live in a 2 bedroom apartment that rents for $850 a month. Crazy.
