Greetings! I’ve recently accepted an internship offer in Tallahassee and will be relocating from Texas soon. The internship is 12 months long, so I will be there for quite a while, and even longer if it eventually becomes a full-time offer (which I was told is highly likely). I’d like to know what Tallahassee is like for a young college grad (26M) who lived in a small Texas college town for the past couple of years.

I heard it has a college town vibe, which is similar to where I am currently. And I assume summer is probably equally hot and maybe more humid, with occasional hurricanes. What would be the best places to live around Tallahassee? I was able to reach out to a friend of my friend, and he recommended Southwood. I looked into that, and it does seem like a nice place to live. Any apartment complexes/management teams to avoid?

And any other suggestions or things I should know about moving to and living in Tallahassee?

Thank you!
