I love the beach and warm climates more though. My ideal city would probably be Honolulu, but I could settle for San Diego or almost anything south of LA for that matter!

There are about 24 in my year, and about 20 in the new class (2 year masters program) There are also a dozen or so PhD's.....

For comparative cities I would suggest New Ulm Minnesota. It has a better glockenspiel per capita ratio then Berlin and the Super 8 next to the Motel 6 will remind you of those apartment buildings ( ... )
