And not just for college. I went to Buffalo for college. Ended up living and working there for a couple years. Obviously, I loved it, but the economic situation was kinda depressing and I couldn’t find a jobby job that used me for me. I’m curious to see how many people actually lived somewhere else before saying “no, Buffalo is the best!” or “Rochester \> \*” ---

Moved to Detroit after college for a job. Stayed there a year, didn’t like Detroit or my job. Moved back to Buffalo and got a better job. ---

I lived in buffalo for 5 years during college. Then I moved to NC. I couldn’t go back to the lifestyle in the NYC/LI area. Just wasn’t/isn’t for me. ---

Grew up in Minnesota, went to college in Cleveland where I was working towards an automotive design profession. 4 years into school, and an internship later, I realized that industry wasn’t the dream I thought it once was. Switched my focus and wound up getting a job here in Buffalo. Been here 4 years now, but my time is dwindling as I’m ready to make a change and head out west. Buffalo has been very good to me, and I’ll never have any bad words to say about it once I’m gone. ---

Buffalo for my whole life but seriously considering relocating to San Diego in 1-2 years when I’ve got the scratch. If it wasn’t for family I’d have left when I finished grad school. ---

I moved from New Hampshire to Rochester for college, lived there for about 4 years until I met my wife, so I move out here to Buffalo where she originally lived, I had no ties in rochester so it was easy. I plan on moving back to New Hampshire to be near my old friends and family, I just have to convince the wife first. ---

I dont think that I’ll really miss the city, just the friends, ability to do whatever/whenever, affordability, knowing a place very well (comfortability), and the fact that I never get in trouble here while riding/driving. (im legitimately concerned about florida laws and motorcycles) as far as the climate, the horribly maintained roads, etc etc, I doubt I’ll miss that stuff. ---
