Temecula is kinda in the middle of nowhere, but growing. I have some friends that live there that I don't visit because I don't want to make the drive.

As for this thread, I live in OC bout a mile away from South Coast Plaza. It's just a 5 minute drive to Newport Beach and I love it. The weather is nice and it's not too gang oriented or to straitlaced either. LA is fun but it's too busy and everyone is self centered. San Diego is cool, the freeway system there is way better than LA and everything is in close proximity.

I guess the real question is what type of MBA your going for and which school has the best program for it.

wow so far seems like AZ is winning out on both CA & FL

Yeah i noticed housing is cheap in arizona.. im looking for a place with lots of fun stuff to do... and clubs, etc, so i think phoenix might be better than tucson in that regard...

BTW what is the rainy season in tampa fl? how many months a yr and how bad is the rain?

That sounds perfect lol

Do they have many gangs there??

I know that they have excellent rated schools and it is pretty central to San Diego, La and to the Ocean in Oceanside so I really like that alot.

Would you know if Oceanside has a nice beach??

Thanks for your help :-)

The heat is why Arizona sucks.

My suggestion, spend a week at each. If you have the money then Cali wins hands down.

mmcfadden · 05-13-2009, 10:52 PM

The best place I ever lived was Texas! No shit...

Move to southern TX... you'll make friends for life, it's warm, lots to do, people are friendly, and there are blacks there as well. It doesn't really matter your race though put on a smile and it would be the best place you could ever choose!

JenniDahling · 05-14-2009, 12:53 AM

I moved to Tampa from So Cal, and I love it. It rains in pockets during the summer, and we have cool lightning storms, the cost of living is much cheaper, people are pretty laid back, there is a lot of diversity so I haven't seen or been subjected to any racism, and we have amazing beaches.

We're also just a few hours away from DisneyWorld, and 4 hours from Ft. Lauderdale. It's definitely worth visiting and checking out.

Also, there is no state tax in FL, so you only have to file taxes to the IRS.

voa · 05-14-2009, 04:07 AM

Florida is my choice

Kiwigirl · 05-14-2009, 07:17 AM

OG LennyT · 05-14-2009, 07:24 PM

AZ is just racist against Mexicans... awesome here

Lived in Tucson for many years, and if I didn't live in Vegas now, thats where I'd be.

Vegas is nice and like you mentioned, it is somewhat centrally located to Az and Cali. I would not recommend moving to Phoenix, I personally think it sucks. I have lived in the valley most of my life and one day we will leave for cooler country

Az is nice, don't get me wrong, but the big city has turned to crap as well as some of the surrounding areas. Scottsdale is nice if you like the snobby rich type....not all are snobby, but a good majority are. Be sure to bring lots of money to live in scottsdale....depending on your life style.

Racism? I guess you will have that where ever you plan to move.

from what I saw while doing a little online house hunting in Phoenix and Tucson this whole real estate collapse is exaggerated. I was looking in the 400-500K range - I expected to see some beautiful homes that would have been 750K a couple years ago. What I saw for listed for 400-500K was nothing special at all - i was disappointed.

Ok, I screwed up...my bad.
I can see how you would be confused by my statement. I meant to say, Scottsdale has more to do and is more fun than Phoenix. Actually, if I was to go out, I would go to Tempe or Scottsdale. The establishments are better and newer...in my opinion....plus there is a big variety.

If you come out here to see how you like it, don't come when the weather is nice, you need to come when the temps are 120 to see if you are willing to deal with that. The winters are beautiful, but the summers suck.
It seems each year it is getting hotter and hotter due to growth.

nah im just doing mba cause im bored.. never gonna use it.. so couldnt care less where i do it.. i just want to live in a fun, warm city

Hazlewood · 05-16-2009, 07:14 PM

if you dont want rain then Florida is out of the question. It's also deep south so there is some racism. Althought those are cons there are some pros such as the hot women and warm weather. Cali is Cali and everyone knows its tight. Arizona is full of golf courses and baseball fields. Also great weather.

cool, but what if there is no MBA program or any university in mentioned city

junkiefans · 05-18-2009, 12:53 AM

I think Arizona would be the best place between your options. Great prices in Arizona.

There's plenty of "bitches" in Phoenix/Scottsdale, just hang out down there some summer evening. No seriously, ASU has a great MBA program and you can get anywhere in no time,
Vegas, Palm Springs, Mexico, New Mexico
