Review of Bakersfield, California


Is it a good place?
Star Rating - 1/18/2011
Me and my family are looking to move soon and we are researching some places to find the best one. We currently live in Southern Ohio and are interested in the Southern California area. Is Bakersfield a nice place to raise children (I have a 10 year old and one on the way)? How about the cost of living? I am currently in college studying Health Care Administration and my husband has a culinary degree so I was also wondering about employment options. Is it hard to find a job? Would I be able to transfer schools to finish my degree or should I stay here until I finish? If anyone can give me some honest insight it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!!
