I'm single and in my late 20's so I'm not necessarily looking to be right in the middle of the party/nightlife scene, but I wouldn't mind if it was nearby - more important to me is a short commute to work as my job often will require long hours, so minimizing transit time is key...also, a safe neighborhood is basically a given as well - my budget would be about $1000 or so for an apartment, and I'd be looking for a studio or 1 bedroom...

Now that I've accepted the offer, I'm delving headlong into my own research about life up there but I'm definitely open to suggestions and feedback from PVD FTers as well!
