Suuuuure do.

Worth it for the sunny weather when everyone else is seemingly in 3 feet of snow.

Pfft. Property taxes are almost nothing in Cali. only 0.61% or so... and the income tax is in the mid 3's.

Take NJ on the other hand, 1.7ish% property tax and 7+% income tax plus cold hard winters and hot humid summers.

Sure the housing prices vary a bit from coast to coast ... in NJ where I lived, houses currently cost from 700k-1.5m. In Cali it ranges from 1.5-3m. You still end up paying more in property taxes and income tax in NJ than CA

i know how bad it is,i lived in boston for 5 years.... then one day my mom and i decided to finally get the hell out of there and come BACK to the west coast!

oh booo you!

I don't like the heat either... I prefer 30-50 degrees. I like snow sometimes. I am SO weird for a Floridian.

I want to live in central/north Florida or outside the city in Georgia when I'm older. The weather is great and it's way cheaper than south Florida or California.

 

[confettiflyer]

mmmm san diego...the temperature range is seriously like 65-75 constantly... maybe a 5 degree shift up/down for summer/winter.

I LOVE the cold. After pharmacy school, if I land a job at the company I work for, I would live in Rochester, Minn ...I love the snow.

Or, I would live somewhere on the east coast...maybe Virginia or Connecticut or Rhode Island. I don't like the west coast that much.

East Coast represent.... lol (As long as it's not a big city because you will probably find the east coast to be a lot less friendly than the mid-west or even west coast/Arizona)

I'd like to live anywhere along the I-95 corridor from around Cocoa Beach to North Carolina/Virginia... OR near Atlanta or a bit north in the mountains.

I prefer to stay in the deep south though... it's been snowing in Atlanta lately so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Mercer!!! lol

Snow + Hot summers

I got excited at first since that link said Buffalo was 4k for in state and 6k for out of state...but then I went to their website and saw that it wasn't true...
http://src.buffalo.edu/financialaid/pharmcost.shtml

Currently, UB's PharmD tuition is $6,435.00 (in-state) and $7,456.50(out-of-state) per semester for the first professional year (considered undergraduate tuition). For the remaining three years, it is 14,375.00 (in-state) and 15,118.25 (out-of-state - although most get residency and are considered in-state) per semester. http://src.buffalo.edu/studentaccount/springtuition.shtml

yah i thought i was getting a deal moving from orange county california to filthadelphia...psshh...

OC: $1400 for a 800+ 1/1 sq. ft apartment w/ a parking spot + utils.
filthy: $1000 for a <400 sq ft STUDIO, parking is $200/mo extra. utils included.

horrible deal...even though on absolute terms it's $200 less. and i'm quoting pre-recession pricing for OC too. bahh

oh and i'm getting pale because of the lack of sun. add in vitamin d supplements and the need to buy new jackets/boots = it's a wash.

Looks like I'll be joining you in Ol' Filthy. I was actually scared for my Mom's reaction the first time I took her there. Had to take her through the hood twice just to get to the area I'll be living ...I think she finally understands why I won't be living right on/near campus.

Is it really the kind of thing where one block is OK, and two blocks down should be avoided at all costs? I mean that's what it seems like. I have alumni in my family from school's in the Philly area and supposedly they went out all the time to bars and what not. Every time I go apartment hunting I can't seem to figure out where they "went out" to? JW since I'll be there soon.

I believe you posted the wrong columns about tuition. Here are the correct numbers:
1st year (given undergrad tuition) : Resident in state: $3,506.50 per semester
Non-Resident out of state: $7,456.50 per semester
PharmD ( years 2-4): Full Time: Resident In state: $9,053.25 (per semester)
Non-Resident out of state: $15,118.25 (per semester)
