I love urban/regional planning and am considering a move to California (San Diego, San Luis Obispo, San Jose, or Pomona) to either pursue a second Bachelor's degree or master's degree, either of which would be in planning; I've already taken some U.P. courses.
I currently live in Kentucky and while I've traveled throughout the country pretty extensively, I've never been to CA and never lived outside of KY.
I have a very slight southern accent, but nowhere even close to "backwoods." Of course, I'm sure I'd still get some slack for it in CA. I don't have a lot of money, but have a retail job that I can, in turn, transfer if I move to any of those cities. I'm 21, male, have no girlfriend, and not looking to settle down now.
So, is it feasible for a guy from the small-town South to move th CA? I imagine an apartment in any of the listed cities will run $800-900/mo. not counting utilities, am I correct? I'd also like to be in a friendlier, laid-back community.
Thank you!
