Living Prefences

Deciding where you want to live when you're older is a big decision. Most people are very comfortable with where they grew up, and don't want to ever leave. Being near family is often a huge incentive to stay in one's hometown. As college freshman, we know what it's like to pick up and move to somewhere new. This happens across the country with college students, but after college most adults choose where they want to live and stay there. A new place and new people is much harder to adapt to once you're older and more self-reliant.



All of 3 of us agreed that a suburban area is where we want to live. Although one of us is from the Columbus area, another from Cincinnati and the other from Pittsburgh, we all agreed our homes are very similar. We live very close to a city, but in a suburb with a good neighborhood. We all agreed that living in our hometowns is where we want to be when we're older.



Family, and just the comfortable feel of that area is most important to all of us when we decide where to move. Although weather is these areas isn't always ideal, you learn to live with it. It's nice to have a familiar place to call home. Each one of our cities gives us opportunity to explore great restaurants, concerts, and endless entertainment... less than 20 minutes away!

A beach house would be a great addition to make up for the harsh weather in the North, but it would never match up to our hometowns.
