As you may have heard, I accepted an internship in anne arundel county for next year! Basically, now I need to chose where to live! I need some help please...
One former intern recommended the annapolis area (I went to look at annapolis and some apartments the day after easter with my mom) and it is really cute.. however, it looked like a really sleepy town and I'm a little concerned that I didn't see many 20 somethings around (although local townspeople said that there is a nightlife there and that there are plenty of 20 somethings.. this is important bc I have no friends there as of yet!
Another intern mentioned that federal hill/canton area of baltimore is the way to go and that is where she lives. I haven't ever been (well i've been to baltimore in general and I didn't necessarily think it appeared to be the safest of cities in the world.. so that scares me a little) but from the pics of fed hill and canton it looks nice. The rents are a bit cheaper, but the places look a little more run down than in annapolis.
Anyways, i'm so torn.. there are pluses and minuses with regards to each location..
for example,
- I'd prefer to live alone, seeing that I am in my mid twenties and have had roomates my entire life. It seems a bit safer to live alone in annapolis (i'm not sure what fed hill/canton is like.. but i've heard that south baltimore is dangerous)
- I'm a little nervous about my brand new car and the street parking in baltimore
- however, i'm afraid annapolis might be a lot more rural, and i'm a bit used to the boston metropolitan area (although I can't say that I adore living in the city and would want to stay there forever in any way shape or form, but its probably best for people around my age in regards to making friends and meeting people)...
Any help or ideas about either area would be appreciated!
