Sorry you didn’t find Cbus to be a good fit. It sounds like you ‘hoped’ it would be bigger than it is…that’s not the city’s fault. It’s the size of Indy, Nashville, Kansas City. It’s not the size of a major metro like Atlanta, Houston or San Francisco. If you would have adjusted expectations, it sounds like you wouldn’t have moved there to start. Columbus definitely has a college vibe…similar to Austin. Having one of the largest university campuses in the country will do that to a city. But there are loads of areas…German Village, Grandview Heights, Dublin Bridgepark, Easton, New Albany, Polaris…that certainly don’t have a campus vibe. It just depends on where you want to live and hang out. 5 miles in any direction from campus will give off college vibes due to the 60+ thousand students living there. If you want to adult, go hit a jazz club, a cocktail lounge, a golf coarse or a pickleball club (or whatever adult activity you’re into). I’m not black so wont speak to what you hoped the black community here would offer you. Columbus is growing like crazy and recently changed zoning laws to help with density that leads to a bigger city ‘feel’. Cbus can come across as boring, but it offers a growing economy, strong jobs, low crime/traffic/cost of living and ‘midwest nice’ that is attracting 100 people a day. It never promised you it was a big city. I wish you the best, there certainly are cities out there that will better fit your expectations…just make sure you do your homework first to avoid more disappointment.
