    Depends on what part of So Fla.

    Myself, I'm not a big fan of the area. I have lived there off and on for a good length of time, and grew up on the northern fringe of So Fla (Jupiter).

    Dade county feels too much like living in a foreign country.

    Broward is ok but it ain't what it used to be.

    Palm Beach is good still.

    The whole area is pricy and people in general are rude and inconsiderate.

    However, the weather is awesome from November til May. The water is great. Lots of stuff to do. Party atmosphere is great.

    Congrats!!! I wish I could be of more help because I visited South Florida for a month. But all I did was work. I know that the cost of living in Fort Lauderdale is somewhat reasonable, and Miami is a great place for shopping and nightlife (especially South Beach). And if you are going to be a PT there I've heard that the location for that line of work is great (when its warm all year round people try to do more to stay in shape so that they can lay around in bikinis all the time...and everyone is trying to compete with each other body wise) If you plan on dancing at all in South Florida I would try Solid Gold in Fort Lauderdale, even though all of the clubs are high contact.

    Well the job offer is not related to dancing... but it would nice to keep dancing as "plan B" just incase.

    I would actually be above Miami, closer to Boynton Beach and West Palm beach.

    Just trying to get an idea of South Florida in general to suss out if its my kinda place.

    Lived there for 3 years and had my home office there for more. It is a great place and the people on South Beach are really a lot of fun. No place like Miami...

    Im not 100% sure on exactly how far..im 20 minutes from Miami so it cant be much more than that for either one. FIU has two campuses...both are about the same distance

    You have nice places and dirty places in S. Florida. I lived in Ft. Lauderdale. Miami was a tad too busy (to live) for me 24/7. Lauderdale slowed down and people sleep! Lol.

    Hope you like humidity! Very warm water, it's never cold water..lol and ALOT of people. Lots of fun places to visit for family or solo.

    The clubs all down south are FUN! They will slow for summer activities, but not halt. Contact? Yes.

    There is alot to say about Florida. The worst hurricane season, always a worry for me. Winter, you will get some very cool nights!

    The people can be rude and loud. If you can pick a very nice area to live, and i will say this as a woman...Down here, don't walk around alone at night, really. It is not safe, i don't care what part of S. Florida it is. Do the buddy system, alot of people live all over S. Florida, actually it may seem like too many.

    I would not live down there again, because i lost a home to a hurricane. And evacuated many times more north Florida, but you will get the feel of the place, it is busy.

    Have fun! Stay safe.

    AiNY, UM is about 15 minutes south of downtown Miami, and FIU is about 20 minutes west of downtown Miami. I'm not sure where you live, but if it's central Broward, the you're about a 40 minute drive to either in good traffic. Bad traffic, probably an hour or more.
