Places I’m Considering Living In

I know it’s probably too soon to think about where I’ll be living after I graduate college, but I just can’t wait until I get out of Howell. I can’t wait to move into the city, so here are my prospective cities to live in, from least to most, after I graduate college. Feel free to opine, disagree/agree (photos are from Wikipedia)!
