in the rural burbs. I've been in this area for the past 18 yrs now transplanted from New England. Winters are usually not as bad as Syracuse or Buffalo. This area has TONS of things to do. The city, of course, has city stuff (museums, shows, clubs, etc). The Finger Lakes are beautiful. Summers are about the same as most of the East Coast. Cost of living is cheaper than New England for sure.

I would second the Albany option. Rochester is fairly conservative, even in regard to it's campuses. adirondacker Aug 2013 #5
