While I don't have a suggestion on where you should live, google.com is a wonderful tool, along with any travel books about the various states.

As for the suggestion of Florida, I highly suggest you take a long time to think about this particular state. Don't get me wrong, I like Florida and all. I've lived here for two years, one year in Kissimmee (right outside Orlando) and one year in Fort Myers.

I found the invasion of bugs (love bugs, ants, roaches, and black widows) to be extremely irritating, the constant worry of hurricanes, coyote attacks, and crocodiles in my backyard to be stressful, and the lack of a job market to be intolerable. Not to mention the gas and dairy product prices are higher here than where I'm from up north.

Maybe in 4 years it will be better, but if you do choose Miami, try to land a job before making a permanent move. Good luck wherever you choose.

Austin and the surrounding areas are really nice. The Tx gulf coast is a beautiful place to live(if you are in the right spot) I suggest Lake Jackson. Some parts of Georgia are absolutely beautiful, the same with Louisiana. Been to Florida, and the water is crystal clear, but didn't like the actual state that much. Just my opinion and some options :P

I am a military wife and have lived in Georgia and Alabama and love it. Where, exactly you want to move depends on what you are looking for. The bigger cities aren't going to have as much of what you are describing so I wouldn't go for places like Atlanta. Chattanooga, TN is one of my absolute favorite towns. I have lived in Columbus, GA and liked it there too.

Tallahassee, FL and Greenville, SC are good spots too!

I would say Virginia or South Carolina. :)

Houston, TX It's a big city but it still has that southern feel.

Louisville, KY.
Very central, very southern in flavor, lots to do, lots of job opportunities, you get to experience all 4 seasons, Derby month is fantastic!, country feel yet metro amenities, GO CATS!!!, St. James Art Festival, bourbon, 10 hour drive to Florida - 4.5 to Atlanta - 4 to Chicago, young and fun yet traditional and sophisticated.

What will your degree be in? That should effect your decision.
Check the job market predictions for the major areas and decide from there. Right now, Nursing is the hot job. In 4 years it could be something else.

Well, it may not be perfect, but I suggest North Alabama! I say that because it is where I live and grew up and it's absolutely beautiful. There are many lakes and rivers and it's in the Tennessee Valley, which means there are gorgeous mountains fit for biking and hiking.

If I had to move anywhere else in the south though, it would be around the Nashville area. Nashville keeps the big city pace with the big city experience, but doesn't lose any integrity of the southern lifestyle.

Good luck!

South Carolina is a great place to live. Gas prices here right now range at about $3.25 to $3.80.Fortunately, most things in South Carolina to see are very near each other and the biggest gas cost is just getting to the state. You can be anywhere in the state in less than 2-3 hours.
We have everything. Beaches, lakes, mountains, water parks, historic sites, plantations, battleships, racetracks, shopping, a multitude of restaurants, golf courses, (adult or miniature) and festivals.
Trying to keep to a budget can be stressful. Most of South Carolina's historic sites are inexpensive to see (but well worth the trip). From Rainbow Row & the Battery in downtown Charleston, to the U.S.S. Yorktown (retired aircraft carrier) & Fort's Moultrie & Sumter in the Harbor. From Beaufort, (shrimpboats & Gullah traditions) to Edisto Island, Isle of Palms & Sullivan's Island (small uncrowded beaches) to Boone Hall Plantation in Mt. Pleasent (Many movie's have been shot here) to Brook Green Gardens (beautiful flowers & sculptures). Myrtle Beach is a legend;.. Water parks, Ripleys Aquarium, Nascar Cafe, Planet Hollywood, Hard Rock Cafe(in the shape of a pyramid-(you can go in & look around without eating- *food is pricey)...They opened a Hard Rock Theme Park there in June also)..Alligator Adventure & the boardwalk at Barefoot Landing, House of Blues, Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede (full course dinner plus a live cowboy/indian old west show while you eat)..Lots of bars, including the Bowery on Ocean Blvd, where country group Alabama got their start.
Darlington Raceway & Darlington Dragstrip are just 70 miles from the beach and the big boys of Nascar race there every May, Mother's Day weekend usually.
Columbia (state capital) still has cannon balls lodged in the state house that can be seen from the street. A huge zoo & botanical garden. The mountain region has water falls, hiking, canoeing, old west themed parks/towns. Glorious scenery & even snow skiing in some places.
Various festivals happen around the state at different times of the year.(Most are in May & June). Flowertown festival (Summerville) is beautiful. Grits festival (St. George) is all about the grits..Hell Hole Swamp festival (Jamestown) is about old time moon shine runners..Catfish festival (St. Stephens)...The Shrimp Festival (McClellanville)...The Okra festival (Irmo) is believe it or not a festival dedicated to ..OKRA...
Weather in the summer is warm & can be muggy..as we are in a drought right now...other than a few pop up thunderstorms, we aren't getting much rain. It is usually cool in the mornings and late at night, but day time temps. are in the mid 80's right now. Winter is mild on the coast yet we get snow up in the mountains. Unfortunately we do have hurricane season here, but we have been very blessed that it to has been mild in recent years.
As far as a place to stay...There are plenty of clean, nice, budget friendly hotels. There are also hotels that have indoor water parks & bowling alleys right in the lobby. Most of the areas & campgrounds around the beaches either rent houses or rv's. Try our South Carolina State Parks...a few tents & sleeping bags or an air mattress or two...camp sites are inexpensive. (Fully equipped Cabins are also available at some locations)...Bathhouses with warm showers are at every location & the parks are usually not crowded & within a short driving distance to most attractions. They are patrolled by Rangers & secured at night with a gated combination lock for the guest security and convinence.
Koa campgrounds are similiar in prices, but don't have the activities or offer hiking, fishing, waterfalls, beaches, etc...the way the State Parks do.
Most of our state forest also have inexpensive campgrounds, that are very well managed, but a bit off the beaten path.
Housing & the cost of living are good here. Chain stores such as Walmart help with that because they buy products and produce locally.
We also have a Marine base (Parris Island) Army Post (Ft. Jackson), Air Force Bases(Shaw & Charleston) and the Naval Station near Bushy Park.
Business is booming and we are growing, but at the same time, not forgetting our manners, hospitality or that slower pace of life.

some place in the Missouri Arkansas and Tennessee area .the storms are great and over the next 20 yrs this are will be in a closer range to tropic zone . it is out of the way of most floods and tornadoes and earthquakes even though there is a fault line . some great forests caves and lakes .and your only 4 days away from any coastal area if you drive . and for flights the fair is closer to the same .

Seeming you have a strong interest in everything that the south has. Why not move some where in Louisiana? Louisiana has a strong southern way of life. I think its the symbol of the south.
