OK so Average temperature is around 48--F, so expect cold winters. You can expect to pay around $633 for rent here. The food scene here is surprisingly good. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a chef who relocated here from Miami about 8 years ago. The main reasons were school and cost of living.
Pros I've experienced:
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good internet infrastructure
- Four distinct seasons
Cons that are real:
- Limited public transit options
- Chain restaurants dominate
Financially, we've found it pretty good compared to where we came from. If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. Groceries are reasonable, gas is hit or miss.
Socially, it's not perfect but it works for me. It's not for everyone but it works for us..

My experience has been mostly positive. the quality of life is solid. The only thing I'd watch out for is healthcare. Other than that, It's not for everyone but it works for us..
