Why I am Angry and Relocation Advice Request
Ok, just to get this off my chest: Napster is going off line on Friday night. I am heartbroken!! I love Napster and have become a bit addicted.
Anyway, the real reason for this post: I have a feeling quite a few of you have experience with this, so I am asking for some words of wisdom.
How do you handle relocating to a city quite far away? The only time I had to move city to city with my parent's help, the city was close enough for me to drive over and check out apartments/neighborhoods before signig a lease. I was also able to drive up and apply for jobs and interview. How do you handle all this when you're moving far away (too far to drive up and check things out) and you don't know the city well and you don't really know anyone there?
I am worried about getting in over my head, getting into a place in a terrible neighborhood (I keep worrying I might end up in a neighborhood like the one i grew up in!!).
Any advice, aside from the obvioius (do your research)?
Thanks in advance.
