Hi, ok well i'm new to this forum so i just wanted to say Hi to everyone and i would also enjoy some everyones opinion on some questions i have.
Well i start college in aug of this year and i will be in college for 3 years and after that i have to transfer to a differant school but my main focus is what state should i move to. Right now i live in Alabama i'v lived here all my life and i want to move out of the deep south ya know like; miss,Al,Ga,Fl.
Ok so i want the state to be on the coast so no inland states like ten. My bf loves boats and jet ski's.
i want all four season but not to dramatic. like summer i want the average to be around 70 to 85 NOOOO humidity please lol. i want to see the leaves change color in fall and winter i want snow not so much snow im shoveling my way out the door every morning but enough to go snow skiiing and enjoy the snow.
Ok so the only states i will not move to is really..
California
texas
Louisiana
Mississippi
Alabama
Georgia
south carolina
florida
Yea i thought about Philadelphia and it seems to have alot of culture. which is sort of a big thing for me i want to move some where that has a big diverse culture unlike alabama the only culture we have is about cival rights and i want my kids to be around something differant like indian culture and british culture idk lol ( i dont have kids yet but where ever i move i will most likely stay there and have a family and everything) thank you

I'm lol @ the comment about civil rights being the only culture.
The thing about Philadelphia is that it may be hotter in the summer and have a little more snow than the coastal cities. But the cost of living is cheaper than, say, NYC and Boston. I've been to Philly many times, and I always think of it like a smaller version of NYC (I'm from there).
Is the water really polluted or just nasty up toward Deleware? idk if you look on google earth it looks like its pollluted idk? My dream would be washington the state but i dont think i can talk my bf into moving there lol
i read somewhere on here that in oregon you have to know spanish to comunicate with most people idk i doubt it but yea...i barely passed spanish in high school lol.
yea washington the only problem im having is trying to find a city on the coast that has a college and i would prefer not to live in seattle. I was looking in the grays harbor area idk

I don't really know enough about Washington state. I've only been to Vancouver, Washington, which is in the Portland metro area. It also seems to be what you're looking for.
I never heard about how you need to know spanish in Oregon, lol. I used to teach in a school here in NYC where 70% of the parents only knew spanish. I know a little spanish and could just barely get by...so if you know a little bit no matter where you live, you'll be fine.

Yeah the NE have one of the best school if not the best schools.

From looking at the map, I think your referring to the water near Baltimore (it appears brown). I also see a little brown east of Dover... i'm not sure that those waters are severely polluted as they appear on the map (because the Dover area isn't a dirty place)
Plus the Hudson river between NYC and NJ appears blue... THAT'S polluted water. (though they had a seal around Jersey City recently, showing improvement in the water quality)
I was going to suggest Maryland. Towson University is a great school, so is Baltimore University. There's plenty of great affordable places in the area too such as Carney, Parkville (Carney is apart of Parkville and parts of Parkville are within Baltimore city limits, but I'm not sure of what their situation is) and Towson.
I personally wouldn't live in Baltimore itself, but the suburbs are some of my favorite suburbs.
