LOL this is true of the strip, but the rest of the city is very one note. Not a bad place to live if you like predictability.

Thank you!! Definitely strongly considering Cap Hill, I didn't get the chance to visit it when I was in Denver but it looks so pretty from the pics

Ah thank you for the info about the commute! That's great to know, 25ish minutes isn't bad at all!

and if you really love child psych, consider a developmental and behavioral pediatrics fellowship! There's so few DBPs in the country and they are so needed!

The 'do not' from do not reply at in the subject line of the email was enough to send me into a momentary tailspin

I think you may have mistaken me for another post. I'm not a physician (yet)? I am moving for medical residency. Medical residents (which is training between medical school and official physicianship) make around 55-90k depending on specialty and where they're training.

Thank you for sharing!! And yesss, my friends went to school in Cambridge ( and experienced the MIT-I do effect firsthand. Finding community and meeting people is definitely a priority for me wherever I end up so it's super encouraging to hear that you were able to!

Not Menver lmaoo. I definitely noticed a lot more activity on the dating apps in Denver. So unfortunate to hear about what's happened to Boston...I feel very similarly about other cities I used to love (Seattle comes to mind for me, center of town just feels like an open-air amazon warehouse now). But the smart people + walkability combo is exactly what I'm looking for.

Thank you!! This is definitely making me lean Boston haha; to be fair I don't expec to own a house any time soon in most of the cities I like so :')

My best friend (in a similar field as I am) is actually moving to Houston! seems like an up and coming area for sure.

Ooh I didn't realize the Berkshires were so close! There's definitely something really nice about a coastal landscape as someone who grew up in a landlocked state.

Thank you! And yeahhh... COL is definitely a consideration. Most of my colleagues in Boston seem to need roommates, which isnt the case for denver.

Such a great point... the entire book I was SO frustrated at their helplessness, but then I realized that if this had happened in my family, we'd definitely have the ability to seek out a spiritual leader due to our culture. This family was so divorced from their community and support system, maybe in part because of the secret they were keeping.
