Best Cities For New Grads

May 13, 2009 Posted By: Trevor Wilson Category: Preparation


CNN has an article up today that lists the Top 10 Cities For New Grads (in the US according to Apartments.com and CBcampus.com). As I read this article, I can’t help but be surprised about the contents of the list. Cities that I wouldn’t have suspected (including Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Cleveland) made the grade.

According to the report:

The list is based on the ranking of the top U.S. cities with the highest concentration of young adults (age 20 — 24) from the U.S. Census Bureau (2006), inventory of jobs requiring less than one year of experience from CBcampus.com (2009) and the average cost of rent for a one bedroom apartment from Apartments.com (2009).

I find this very interesting. As I don’t live in any of the listed cities, does anyone else have an opinion to share? If so, I would like to hear from you.

Agree with the list? Disagree with the list? Leave us a comment below!
