Sorry, but I have another question . In 3 or 4 years, I will have to start my college education over as a young (27 now), single, black (Nigerian parents), woman. I need an area and city of the country that is very academic and offers many medical lab research jobs and medical lab study opportunities and it seems like the Northeast is the best region for me. I don't want the crime and lack of diversity of D.C. and Baltimore and don't want the expensiveness, fewer degrees of coldness, terrorist threat, and big urban hassles of Newark and NYC. Boston is probably too cold for my liking. ANYWAY, I'm pretty sure, wherever I land, I'm staying there because I would be approaching 40 by the time I get a PhD. So, while in school, I'll probably be searching for that special someone to spend my life with .
Anyway, I'm 98% sure my "special someone" is a brown, bronzed-skinned, huge-hearted Puerto Rican, Dominican, or Cuban . So, I'd really like to live in Philly because its the farthest-south Northeast city with diversity and an academia, but seems like from the stats its mostly black and white people, only 8.5% Latino. Also, I've read and heard that New Jersey seems to have plenty of Carribean latinos. I don't exactly need or want to be surrounded with all the Spanish, but also don't want trouble finding a mate. I'd be willing to settle between Trenton and Philly or on the other side of the bridge from Philly AROUND (not in) Camden. Even the metro area between Philly and Wilmington is fine.
Do you think my romantic life would do fine in the Philadelphia metro area or is south and middle New Jersey probably a better spot? (I know it's a subjective question, but if you have any opinions I'd be more than happy to hear them)

Well, Phila. metro area includes Camden, Gloucester and Burlington counties in NJ, and Mercer Cty is close by as well. You're not gonna find lots of us in the Pa. burbs (although in Reading, Lancaster and Lebanon you will); there are many more Latinos in the NJ burbs of Philly and farther north.
DC is not diverse?
The best thing to do is focus on career. The rest will throw you off course.
