Why you might ask? Let me put it this way:

We were looking for an apartment on the south shore (New Orleans area) and the best deal we were able to find was a 360 sq ft. studio for $550 a month. On the Northshore, the average 1 bedroom apartment will cost around $700 a month.

On top of the extreme cost of living, there are NO jobs. While looking at jobs for when I get out of school, I can make $8 an hour with a college degree... Granted there are better, but those jobs are much harder to find. An equivalent job in TX pays $125,000 for an entry level position. And housing is much cheaper, at least from the reality sites are showing me.

The bottom line is this. Under no circumstance should you ever move to this shit-tastic state. The economy seems to be bottoming out, which I suspect, is due to the states long history of political corruption.

Never move here, once I get my degree, I'm moving to Dallas. And this state wonders why so many graduates relocate.
lol I think you can get a closet for 700 a month in Jersey
