Review of Columbus, Ohio


Coolege grad
Star Rating - 5/7/2006
Soon to be college graduate,

I have lived in both Seattle and Columbus. Am planning on moving back to Columbus this summer. Seattle is a great town. It's about the same size as Columbus. Winters are very mild. It rains a lot but it usually sprinkles and you'd be surprised how quick you get used to it. Summers are in the 80s and sunny. Traffic is terrible. UW is a great school right in the middle of the city and you don't need a car. Everything is right there. In my opinion NYC and DC are just too big and the cost of living is suffocating. Seattle has all the cultural and sporting events too. I graduated from BGSU and went to grad school at Villanova in Philadelphia. It's a fantastic school and town also. Congratulations on graduating from Ohio State and good luck in whatever you decide.
