Need advice. Pros/Cons of Living in Houston... Attending U of H Law School. Any recommendations on where to live? Boyfriend does HVAC and would be required to drive everyday to/from different jobs - not sure if that means getting a place in town or outskirts is better. I've heard Midtown is good, Medical City, Westheimer? Thanks!

Is anyone going to the Penn State ASD? I was told I would be getting info about it, and it would be end of March, but I havent heard anything else.

Yes I would either be at Carlisle or Temple, but Ill figure that one out after I conclude I am positive I want to move to PA Where would you recommend living if going to Temple?

cisforcookie -- you are right that Philly is windy.  VERY windy.  I don't think the summer is hot OR humid enough, but I'm from DC 

I did a summer internship in DC - I COMPLETELY AGREE!

If I went to Penn State - Carlisle Campus, would it be possible to live in Philly? I was thinking I'd have to live in Harrisburg? My boyfriend's family and friends are all from Sckyukill County - however you spell it.  Not that I care to live THERE but ultimately closer than farther would be most desired.

I'm thinking I'd be happy in Philly... just cant come to terms with telling my parents/family that I'd be moving several states away! I suppose its reality that most people come to deal with...

I live in Austin now and LOVE it. I'm also a baby about cold weather... mainly just driving in the ice. I wouldnt say I LOVE Houston, I could probably get adjusted to it though. I would hate the Houston traffic. I like living somewhere large enough to have things to do, jobs available... but I hate traffic - which obviously could be avoided to some extent depending on where/how close you'd live to a school.

How is Philly very different from Houston? To me it would seem they are both very large cities... I would assume they would resemble each other? 

I'm in at Penn State, waiting on Temple, but semi-positive I will get it.  If I decide to move to PA, choosing between Temple and Penn State will be another topic I really like Penn State but from what I hear Temple is the way to go. I'm planning to make a visit up there for ASD end of March. 

In response to kcf, I'd be open to finding a job whereever if I went to Temple or Penn State.  I've even looked into the possibility of coming back to Texas after law school, and taking the Texas bar.  I realize it would be much harder to find a job, but if I stuck with public interest/government, as I am considering, I already work for the State of Texas and know many people who attended law school out-of-state. Just an idea. Right now I'm at the "I have no clue where I want to live/work for the rest of my life..." Rather stressful

Thank for all replies!
