San Diego, CA or Nashville, TN would be my first two choices
Posted on 4/22/13 at 8:36 am to We_Need_Cam
Dallas or Houston.

Nashville has really come into fruition the past 3 - 5 years. When I first moved here, I didn't think much of it, but the restaurant/bar scene is finally catching up with some of the bigger Southern cities. Lots of good music too - and no I don't mean shitty mainstream country. It's big enough so there's plenty to do but not so big it takes an hour to get from one side of the city to the other (like Atlanta). I'd say other than New Orleans, Nashville is the best place for night life in the South.
Drawbacks: It's too cold in the winter and generally overcast from November to April. Oh, and people drive so slow here. Really, really slow.

I am graduating in August with a degree in mechanical engineering. I want to spend my 20s in a bad arse town while I have nothing tying me down. I am pretty much open to anywhere in America. My criteria is:
1. Fun things to do
2. Outdoorsy type attractions
3. Good night life / music scene
4. Lots of young babes
Sell me on a city. TIA
Congrats on your upcoming graduation! A couple of suggestions:
1. Washington, DC. I spent several years there and absolutely loved it. Tons of stuff to do. Lots of young people from all over the country. It is a different part of the country, but still fairly easy to get to the South. It has a pretty nice climate. Colder than the south, but not crazy winters like you would get if you went further north. Easy access to the big cities in the northeast like NYC and Philly. You are fairly close to several beaches and not too far from the mountains in Virginia. If you move up there I would suggest either living in the city or at least one of the VA or MD suburbs on the Metro so you don't have to fight the traffic. I lived in the District and it was fantastic.
2. If you can handle the cold, Chicago is awesome. It has all the amenities of a truly world class city and a much lower cost of living than New York.

I have never been to Cali, but my dad has been all over that state and has really enjoyed everywhere he has been. I know I would like it out there, but I am not sure if I could handle the way that state is ran. Where are you going to live after you graduate Rig?

New Orleans. Seriously.

Excellent suggestions 
Everyone nowadays seems to have Portland, Denver, Austin, ect. in their mind. But I think Washington DC is one of the best cities in the US. It has everything for everyone- transportation, arts, nightlife, sports, ect. Chicago is great too, but I prefer the East Coast, not that this is my thread

Thanks to all for the suggestions 
Lots of good cities to consider. I wish I could travel around the country to get a feel for all these places, I have been rather limited in my travels. Really only been around the Southeast, D.C., and Denver.

Vancouver, British Columbia...
Posted on 4/22/13 at 9:53 am to dallasga6
Damn that is a beautiful city. Any idea how tough it is to get a work visa in Canada as an entry level engineer?
Posted on 4/22/13 at 10:03 am to We_Need_Cam
Montgomery, AL or Detroit, MI.

I just know Vancouver & Vancouver Island are two of my favorite spots anywhere....Good Luck in your search... Posted on 4/22/13 at 10:19 am to We_Need_Cam
For something smaller, look at Greenville, South Carolina
Posted on 4/22/13 at 10:23 am to We_Need_Cam
Homer suggestion. But Chattanooga, TN is great smaller city. 2 hours from Nashville, Bham, and ATL. Surrounded by outdoors stuff. Lots of young professionals. Downtown is booming and spreading its revitalization to bad parts of town.
I'm from there and something new is built or opening every time I come home to visit.

You're right that is small.
Think of Greenville like Huntsville: it's growing quickly, but it's still behind the other major cities in the state. Also to the OP you should try Charleston. They have everything you listed, plus it's right on the ocean.
Posted on 4/22/13 at 10:48 am to rtr14
Charleston is way up there on the list, I just don't know enough about the city to know what industries they have besides tourism.
Posted on 4/22/13 at 10:50 am to rtr14
Denver, hands down. The Rocky Mountains are our backyard. It's the place to be for young professionals. The city is full of young professional transplants from all over the country.
And the craft beer selections aren't too shabby either....
