I need the good, the bad, and the ugly. I'm planning on moving soon for college.
I went to Austin for about 9 days, and loved it. But I needed someone elses opinion, someone who lives there.
Or maybe some towns outside of Austin?
Can anyone help me out? Thanks :)

Austin is a great place to live. The people are cool, laid back and friendly. Its a very liberal town, just about anything goes here. Completely different from the rest of Texas. You might be shocked the first time you see Leslie walking down the street in his/her lingerie....you'll see. I would have to say the only bad things is the traffic and everything (housing, food, entertainment) tends to be a bit expensive. As far as crime, every city has its problems, but Austin is safe just depends what part of town your in. The weather is nice in the spring and fall. The summer can be brutal, especially August. Oh and by the way there is NO good Mexican food in this town, it is all horrible, don't listen to the hype. I hope this helps and Good Luck with school.

Well I have never lived in Austin but I did live in The Woodlands( it is the suburbs of Houston). My cousins have visited Austin lots and lots of time because they have some friends over there. My cousin said that Austin is a great place. She said it was kind of like Houston. Busy and stuff like that. My friends lived in Austin for a couple years. Her dad loved it. He said it was ne of the best places he ever went to in his life. He said it was very beautiful! But you can check Austin's crime rate by just going to Google and typing Austin,TX. I hope that you will love Texas! I love Teaxas. It is like my homeland even if I wasn't born in TX. Good Luck with everything!

Austin rizzocks...I've been here 9 years and consider this home. Austin has one of the best "greenspaces" I've ever seen in a larger city, and it also has a rockin downtown section. If you are moving to Austin, stay clear of central-east and look to either live on Campus (expensive) or the NW part of the city.

I really like Austin, there is goos shopping and culture. However the traffic and humidity are awful! I-35 is pretty central to everywhere. Baby Acupolco' is an excellent eating place, and make sure to visit 6th street sometime.

I live in Pflugerville. Austin is a great place to live. Lots of great places to eat, night-life, college and high-tech scene keep things exciting and cost of living is very good compared to other cities of this caliber.
