If you pay attention the majority of the drama when your out happens after 2:30ish. The more alchohol involved the more problems there are. NYC was awesome, I just don’t think it was for me. I like city living, just not to that extent. ---

Rent for a 1 BR apt will definitely run you at least 1200+ Utilities in Boston. I’m guessing it’s around 800-900 ish in Orlando ? Maybe even lower? 1200 is not too bad as long as you make at least 60k or so. ---

well, the problem is people just start drinking earlier - and the drama just starts earlier 🙂 I wouldn’t live IN boston, but outside of it I like. Kinda like NYC - I would never live in NYC, but where I am is sweet. ---

Maybe even lower? 1200 is not too bad as long as you make at least 60k or so. I don’t live in Orlando, I live just outside the Ft. Myers/Naples area. My rent right now is $1600 a month then I have electric and cable/internet. The same thing goes, I travel very frequently as I will be while i’m in Boston as well. I also do the same thing down here, I have a roomate for the purpose of when i’m not home the place is still safe. Howie, I agree with you on the not in the actual city part. I need to have some quiet when I need it, sometimes you just want to relax. As far as the starting earlier, honestly after being down here for the past two years I rarely ever see fights and if I have seen one i’m the first person to walk away(don’t hold my past against me, I grew up). I’ve had my share of overnighters, don’t get me wrong alot of idiots should be punched in the face but I have my future to worry about now. Something we all need to realize is there are jobs and there are careers, if you happen to find a career or even a job that is a stepping stone that will be used as a reference for your career. It needs to be taken seriously and the pro’s and con’s of every situation you put yourself into need to be weighed amongst each other. ---
