Came here for school and stayed because I genuinely enjoy living here. The community vibe is honestly better than expected and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

Depends on what you're looking for honestly. If you want housing market, then yeah this place is great. But if walkability matters to you, might want to look elsewhere.

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

Housing: Buying is tough right now, renting is more reasonable. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in South. It's solid for what you get.

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

People: Generally tough. It took about 14 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: excellent. Tons of options if you like Asian.

No regrets on my end..
