Why not? Everybody else is doing it. In the past 15 or so years, I've seen an increase in the number of University of Wisconsin, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Indiana, Iowa, etc. flags flying in the windows of apartments in Lincoln Park, Wrigley Field, etc. I've seen hundreds of bars advertise "We feature all University of Iowa (Michigan, etc.) games!" Why would they do that? Because all of those folks are graduating from their home state universities and coming here for jobs and living here. I know this is the reason because true, lifelong Chicagoans don't really give a hoot about college sports. We've got every major pro sports team here. The last time Chicagoans cared about college sports was when DePaul was a semi-big deal in the 70s with Mark Aguirre. So all of these college flags and bars are an indication of the influx of grads that come here to work and live. It's gotten so bad that The states of Iowa and Michigan have ran ads on TV and in magazines trying to get their native sons and daughters to come back and live and work there, saying the job market is expanding, etc.
so to answer you question, I guess it is...

I definately think it is for a few reasons. First of all there are tons of places to live. Places that vary in prices that anyone can afford. Also, it has a great night life and there is always stuff going on for people to do. There are also lots of career opportunities due to the sheer size of the city. We also have hands down, by far the best food in the world.

Chicago is a big city with a smaller city Midwestern friendliness. There isn't anything you can't do or find here. You'll feel at home, make friends and it's fairly easy to find a good job. Start in the center of it all!

It depends what you are looking for in the environment you will live in. If you enjoy the city and all of the activities that come with it, than go for it! You can also live in a nearby suburb if you don't like the city feel. I am personally biased because I was born and raised on the North side. I love it there and I miss being away !

Absolutely...
Where are you from originally? Chicago has great opportunity all over and appealing to many tastes. If the city is too much (sometimes too expensive or busy or too close to your neighbors) you may want to look to the 'burbs.
If you are planning on being in the heart of the city, you need to be prepared to spend some dough--
It really depends on where you want to be and how fast you want to get there..

relies upon on what sort of work you're searching for, yet oftentimes sure. Its an mind-blowing position to locate artwork because theres alot of it! I stay contained in the NW suburbs and there appears an ever-increasing artwork stress transforming into round right here. you fairly won't be able to bypass incorrect with chicago, except youre contained in the movie company. if so, goto Cali or FL.
