I’m going to be a foreign exchange student next year to Ireland, and I was just wondering what the best/funnest/social/safest places to live are. Thanks!
A South Dublin suburb like Bray. Great shops, friendly people etc.
I would say Bray, Graystones or Dun Laoighre. Probably better to go with Bray or Dun Laoighre. You’re close to Dublin with easy access, but still far away enough that you can relax without getting caught up in inner city life. There are buses, trains (DART) and the Luas Line. Also, great shopping centre in Dundrum!!

Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me round
I feel numb - born with a weak heart
I guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground
Head in the sky
It’s ok I know nothing’s wrong . . nothing
Hi yo I got plenty of time
Hi yo you got light in your eyes
And you’re standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money
Always for love
Cover up and say goodnight . . . say goodnight
Home - is where I want to be
But I guess I’m already there
I come home - she lifted up her wings
Guess that this must be the place
I can’t tell one from another
Did I find you, or you find me?
There was a time Before we were born
If someone asks, this is where I’ll be . . . where I’ll be
Hi yo We drift in and out
Hi yo sing into my mouth
Out of all those kinds of people
You got a face with a view
I’m just an animal looking for a home
Share the same space for a minute or two
And you love me till my heart stops
Love me till I’m dead
Eyes that light up, eyes look through you
Cover up the blank spots
Hit me on the head Ah ooh

I’m debating a job opportunity in Brandon, FL. My husband & I are active (bicycling, rollerblading, dining out, culture) 35 year olds & are wondering where some of the best places to live in the area are.
I have heard that Ybor City is the best up and coming area around Tampa.

Hope to be moving soon and would love some feedback as to where people thinks the best places are to live and why?
The main stereotypical "bad" parts of town are Cole Harbour and Spryfield, but not everyone would agree. Bedford is a good area - it’s where a lot of middle-class "professionals" live and a very low crime rate. Clayton Park is closer and is also a good area, especially for apartments, very culturally diverse if that’s your cup of tea. I think your best bet is to find something with a 1 yr (or less) lease and get to know the city for yourself and what appeals to you. Every region of Halifax has its ups and downs - the North End has a big concentration of University students, so you might want to avoid living in that area. Here’s a website that has some limited info on certain neighbourhoods:

And here’s another great site to determine commuting times b/w different areas and downtown Halifax:

There is also a settlement association you might want to contact:

I think they mainly focus on immigrants who have language barriers, but I’m sure they could be of use to any immigrant.
Good luck to you! And if you’re moving in the winter, make sure to pack lots of woollies
I currently live in Rhode Island and my girlfriend and I want to move up there in a few years after we get teaching degrees…we vacation in Maine on the southern coast every year and absolutely love it…so much that we’ve decided we want to live in Maine…any suggestions on the best places to reside would be much appreciative. Thanks!
My sister lives in Maine in the Kennybunk area. Very nice but very expensive. You will find the cost of living there significantly highter than in Rhode Island. Property taxes are getting so high now that people that have lived there for years are leaving. My sister is also a teacher and it appears as though they are doing some cut backs in education also. Just a heads up and do your homework before you move! Good luck.
