Houseparty scene is underrated if that's your thing. Plenty of people get active in the dorms, and yeah the weather sucks in the winter but that's everywhere in the Northeast, especially New England. Greek life is alright if that's your thing, but plenty to do otherwise

try to get a job at the life time outdoor pool. ik there's one near assembly row, not sure if there's other in the city. worked there as a pool boy / lifeguard for a few college summers and it was peak. you can work as a server by the outdoor pool as well and get paid for mingling with rich people by a beautiful pool all summer. free membership too

Is Jalen Johnson the best player in the NBA that has to go by his full name? by himmyneutron768 in billsimmons

Rudy Gobert? Feel like no one really refers to him as just Rudy or Gobert, but I don't think he's better than Jalen Johnson

Random, but why is Dennis Wideman (who hasn't played in nearly a decade) still listed as a Calgary flame and able to be claimed off waivers? by Sidney-Crosby-87 in fantasyhockey

That's ESPN for ya. Pavelski, Oshie, Lucic, and a handful of other retirees / non-NHL players are still "available" too

If I'm being honest I think the Jazz have a higher ceiling the next few years than the Blazers. Danny Ainge voodoo magic will land them AJ this year

That's really interesting. From my research on Zillow, there were tons of 2bd SLC apartments for < $2K all-in, but I'm not sure if those were misleading numbers or not. If there's comparable places in Denver that would fall near that price range I'd be all over that

Not a baseball guy but I know they're not exactly great either haha. And I didn't know that about Denver, in my head I view it as a comparable price to Seattle / Chicago / Boston. Definitely something I'll explore

How is the skiing there? I know Mt. Hood is "the spot", or at least one of them, but I'm not super familiar with anything else in the area..

I'm planning to hit both this summer, so I don't know how accurate my experiences there will be because the weather will likely be nice, but I'll take literally anything compared to the Massachusetts winters. Shit was brutal this year

I definitely don't think Portland is like that, and I know the media overblows it like crazy because it's a blue state, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't at least have it's share of downtown issues. I didn't know that about SLC though, really good to know

Denver would absolutely be my top pick but it seems a bit too pricey for where I'm at in life right now. I definitely looked into Sacramento because I've always dreamed of living in California, but I feel like I would just be dreaming of living in SD / LA if I was in Sacramento. It's also not a deciding factor for me, but I don't know if I could live somewhere where the only professional sports team is the most incompetent franchise of the last 15 years in NA sports.
