Is public transit usable in Ravenna?

I'm a college student here and It's a a small town city with about 11,286 people. Average temperature is around 49--F, so expect cold winters. Rent is about $885/month for a decent place. The weather takes some getting used to. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Has anyone dealt with this? Appreciate any input. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Property taxes are high but you get good services. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The food scene here is surprisingly good. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 2 years ago from Austin and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in Greenfield. It's excellent for what you get.

Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in manufacturing. If you're in healthcare you might struggle.

People: Generally surprisingly good. It took about 10 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: challenging. Tons of options if you like Vietnamese.

Your mileage may vary depending on what you're looking for..
