I guess I'm bias... but I go to college in Philly and have lived here all my life. It is such an amazing place to go to college. It's very similar to NY, just not as fast-faced and crazy. There's just so much to do in center city philadelphia, and tons of colleges, so there's tons of college kids roaming the streets. It's just a good energy, though I admit, some parts are bad and dangerous, but that's why you avoid those areas. I'd deff recommend philly for college or to just live a "city life", since it's not as nuts as NY, but still busy and lively with tons of clubs, stores, buses, trains, schools, nightlife, etc. There's nothing like penn's landing and south street, OH and broad street! (which might be similar to canal?)

" they both influence alot of areas around them, both have a good nightlife with a good bit of things open 24 hours, both have thriving city cores, good public trasportation, traffic problems, parking problems, good job field, and similar weather. The differences I heard are that Philly has more real rural type areas around it, slightly cheaper prices, less diversity, more crime per resident, better to have a family, center city is like a small manhattan but just not as good, philly is a nice city but not world class like New York "

I was thinking about going to college in phili and seems fun, because if you are not the kind of person who wants everything as busy as new york but still busy, then phili seems like a good place.
