What surprised you most about Columbia?
Hey everyone, It's a a mid-size city city with about 106K people. The unemployment rate is 3.1%, which is pretty low. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. The weather takes some getting used to. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The suburbs are where most families end up. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.
