We wonder: Is Northern or Southern California better? To help us all make up our minds in this polarizing debate, we have gathered a list of what we think are the most important pros and cons.
Read on below to see who ultimately rules the West Coast. Birthplace of the farm-to-table movement, home of wine country and location of four of the 12 three-Michelin-star restaurants in the country, Northern California seems to empirically have Southern California beaten on this one.
Having a city like San Francisco, which has a history built within its core, Northern California has more of an array of unique museums, libraries and distinct architecture. Just hella stop. The beaches in Southern California are world famous — and you can use them all year.
Disneyland is really a reason all by itself, but Southern California is home to other theme parks, museums and attractions just as worthy of recognition. Last time we checked, California was called the Golden State, right? With average temperatures in the 70s year round, rays of sun continually shine brightly on this part of the state.
Most of the bigger, more urbanized areas also include rapid transit, such as BART or CalTrain, and, of course, Uber is always the move.
It's a minor point but still very important. Tallying the number of World Series championships in the entire history of the programs admittedly, not all were won while the team was based in California , the San Francisco Giants and the Oakland Athletics have hung 17 banners combined; the Anaheim Angels and the San Diego Padres have hung 7.
Less time at In-and-Out Burger, more time practicing? Yes, Northern California coined the slang phrase that took off like a rocket to the moon, even being mentioned by Taylor Swift in her song, "Shake It Off". What says individuality like your own language, and what says leader like everyone picking up that language?
Talk down to us all you want, SoCal; we're the ones with the hella great word. Nowadays, many working adults, high school graduates, and retired lifelong learners are choosing to advance their careers, lives, and personal knowledge by completing school at home. The rising popularity of online college and graduate school degrees has completely changed the face of education and student life.
It's no longer necessary to pack up all your belongings and head off to a distant locale in order to earn a diploma. If you feel the temptation to cut costs, save time, and take advantage of the incredible benefits of online learning and convenience of at-home study, it's essential to know the key facts about online degrees before signing up for a course of study.
Many people still worry about the legitimacy of tele-study, while others wonder how to finance the coursework. So, if you're ready to become a distance learner, review all the relevant issues related to financing, checking credentials of schools, work-life balance, expenses, and what it takes to earn good grades.
Here are more details about each point. Non-traditional methods of earning degrees, primarily via computer-based courses, are fully legitimate. In fact, many of the world's top universities and colleges offer both in-person and distance curricula. However, it is still imperative to check the credentials of any institution before making any payments. Check accreditation status, read reviews from former students, and call the admissions office to inquire about how to apply.
If your educational goals include an advanced degree, it's worth looking into private graduate student loans. Working through a private lender, most prospective pupils can obtain enough money to pay for all degree-related expenses, take advantage of competitive rates, and get access to suitable repayment terms.
This is especially helpful for current college grads who want to get their MBA, JD, or other specialty degrees to qualify for high-paying jobs. If you struggle to define balance in your life , this will surely help you. There's no question about one fact in that e-degrees offer the best work-life balance situation possible. That's primarily because class scheduling is highly flexible, most programs are self-paced, and you can do homework whenever it fits into your work week, assuming you hold a job while you're in school.
Universities and colleges can earn high profit margins on e-courses because a vast majority of the classroom sessions are taped and can be viewed at any time.
In short, schools spend much less on e-students than on those who live and matriculate on campus. In general, expect to pay about half the cost of a traditional diploma when you are a remote learner. One thing that's often overlooked when comparing all the differences between traditional and computer-based curricula is the discipline factor.
If you intend to opt for an e-degree, make sure you have the self-control to watch every video lesson, take part in live discussions, study for exams, and write papers. For some, it's far too easy to give in to the temptations of TV, social media, and other distractions when earning a degree from the comfort of home.
I am saying one thing that I am thankful each day for until Thanksgiving. You try it to it will bring you joy. November 1st, I am thankful for God and Jesus.
I put my faith in them, they protect and help me through the happy and the sad in life. I could not imagine a world without them.
November 2nd, I am thankful for sweets. I love them. Sweets can make me joyful when I am upset. They make my sweet tooth go at ease.
Especially Lava Cakes. November 3rd, I love my family. They push me to be the best I can be. My family supports me and always cheers me up when I am down. My family cares so much about me and will do anything for me if it is legal. I really couldn't imagine a world without them. November 4th, I am thankful for my teachers. They might give me a lot of hassle and work to do. Yet they come through by trying to help however they can. Teachers can be funny and kind of cool.
November 5th, I am thankful for my character traits. My hard-working trait, my try to be amazing at things trait, my sweet trait, my fashion trait, and my smart trait, and my love trait.
But I also am thankful for those who stick around when my bad traits come out like my sassiness, my moody trait, my sensitiveness, my grumpy trait, my angry trait over dumb things, and even my trying to be amazing at things trait because I always try to be perfect.
Thanks, friends, and family for sticking around. Arthur Bozikas has penned a memoir that is heart-breaking and gutsy, as well as being full of hope and gratitude. This book is guaranteed to lift up readers and have them believing in the resilience and transcendence of the human spirit, making it a must read for years to come. When reaching adolescence, most teenagers want more freedom, independence and control in their lives. For Arthur, it was the opposite, as he discovered that his lifespan would only last up to adulthood.
After becoming an adult, Arthur was waiting for his death. It was at the eleventh hour, at the age of twenty-one, when Arthur was introduced to a miracle treatment, but only after the damage of iron overload from all the blood transfusion was done to his body.
Grateful to be given a chance to survive for a few more years, Arthur decided to do something with his life; to get married, buy a house and also to have children, knowing he had no prospect of any future for himself. At the age of sixty, Arthur and his wife Helen celebrated their thirty-five-year marriage anniversary. Recently we caught up with Bozikas so we could learn more about this amazing human and very talented writer.
LA can be good for some if you know what you're getting into. Let me tell you something; California rarely lives up to the glorified stereotypes that are usually portrayed. Yes, there is some truth to them but this state is too dynamic to really put a finger on it. I've been all up and down the west coast and it seems to me that people seem to get friendlier the farther north you go. Just my opinion I have to keep saying this because without fail, someone will come here and remind me that it's just my opinion as if I might forget LOL.
I am a Bay Area native and even I can only handle that city for about a day or so. It's also embarrassingly, stupidly and atrociously expensive! Try the East Bay. If you remain in the inner east bay the public transportation will be great for you. It's a bit better than Seattle's. If you're in most of the outlying suburbs, you will need a car unless you're in Dublin or Pleasanton where there's a BART station.
San Diego, you might like and you might not like. It seems that Seattlites are split on SD. Tell us a bit more about what you would like out of your new city. It will help us help you. The thing that can't be over stated here on City-Data is research research research! It's the reason I came to CD in the first place. I'm actually considering Seattle a new home for myself but I want to learn as much about it as possible.
I've been there and will visit a few more times before I make up my mind. You're in LA, take the short trip to San Diego, see if you like it. If you can, visit the Bay Area, see if you like that better. You may find that returning home is the best option for you. I personally am torn right now between returning to the Bay Area and Seattle. Just check out your options. I've seen several posts on the Austin forum saying that there are an enormous number of applications for each job opening because it has become the "hot" place to move to.
Houston is still doing good economically and that's where I'd move back to if I was going to Texas, except that my skillset is no longer viable there. Just my opinion. If you got money, anywhere can be a great place. Originally Posted by nmnita.

Depending on your background, education and field, you might find yourself in the same boat and with a higher cost of living and not the nicest weather in the world, if you didn't like what Seattle had to offer.
People can be rude everywhere, Los Angeles doesn't have the market on that, for sure. You will find them in Austin, San Francisco, Phoenix, the east coast etc, but you will find nice people as well.
I have always found the people in So Ca to be pretty nice, maybe I have been lucky. Of course I was born and raised there, lived much of my young life in the north part of the city and Pasadena.
