OK, if you're leaving LI/NY where are you going, and when? (Boston: home, buyers)

And most of these still have relatively affordable tuition rates.

Mostly personal reasons. Plus miss NYC. Weather..love having 4 seasons instead of summer heat all year. Then after moved to SC realized really did not like area at all for a certain personal reason.

That being said we are looking into moving back to Fl. But further north than we were before.

Okay, cool! Good luck on the move

Our quality of life is better. Less expensive. Better communities and schools. People who welcome people from NY.

I seriously doubt that Ohio has more colleges than there are in the metro Boston area.

You do have some really good schools: Kenyon (my nephew just graduated from Kenyon), Oberlin (wonderful arts school), Case Western Reserve, Kent State...but really, I would not say that most are comparable with Harvard, MIT, Tufts, Tufts Veterinary (one of the best in the nation - although You do have Ohio State Vet School which is top notch) Northeastern U., Boston College, Boston University, Brandeis, University of Massachusetts, the medical schools ofHarvard, Tufts, BU and U. Mass The New England Conservatory of Music, the Colleges of the Fenway, Emerson College, Bentley U, Babson U., Regis College, The Boston Conservatory of Music, Berkelee College of Music (top jazz school in the U.S.), Lesley University, and so on....many more colleges that really stand out - and does Ohio have the medical standouts that Boston has? I mean, really, the best center for medical research on earth, arguably, is in Boston! Not to mention the great Museum of Fine Arts, Fogg Art Museum, Gardener Museum, etc.

I don't think you can compare Ohio to Boston in these things.

The Cleveland area alone has 24 colleges.

He was just talking about sheer number, which may be correct. Not stature/ranking.

Of course, Boston universities have a much higher reputation. But that is partly why Boston has a higher COL than his section of Ohio.

Think you should check again, could you have look at average temp (taking into consideration the low and high). Even that seems low> Just looked it up and the avg high ranges fom 58 on Nov 1st to 48 on Nov 30th.

I think most of the New Yorkers are going to South Carolina. :-) Actually, I may be ran over as I move to Long Island next month. My house was in Mt. Pleasant, and I loved the neighborhood.... soooooo quiet, crabbing dock, warm weather etc., but I am making a career move. I will say that the majority of the homes on my street were owned by former New Yorkers, and the one across the street came from New Jersey.

To kill time between the closing date on my Mt. Pleasant house and the one I am buying on L. I. I am hanging out in Richmond, VA for a month. It was much less expensive than L.I. or Mt. Pleasant.. or any other major city in between.........................

It is a little scary how I seem to be the only one going in that (SC to NY) direction.

[rocafeller05]

LMAO!! The moons must have aligned.

All kidding aside its actually refreshing to have a intelligent & civil conversation without all the b.s. for once.
