Hello, I'm a college student here and It's a a mid-size city city with about 113K people. The median home value here is around $440,000, which is pretty steep. Average temperature is around 53--F, so expect cold winters. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's not perfect, but the community is solid.
