Hi everyone! I'm a 22M from North Carolina and I'll be relocating to St. Louis in the next month or so for an internship for the next 9 months! This is going to be a pretty big change for me. I've never lived outside of NC before and I'll be moving without a car so I'm trying to figure out where I should live and how to make the most of my time in the city.

I'd love to hear from people who actually live in St. Louis abt a few things:

- Housing: I'm looking for somewhere around $700-$1100/month, ideally a studio/1BR or sublease with easy MetroLink/MetrBUs access to downtown. Any neighborhoods or complexes you'd reccomend or avoid?

- Life in STL: Favorite places to eat, hang out, recommendations for a first time visitor

- Meeting people: Any reccomendations for ways to meet people around my age?

What do you wish you knew before moving to St. Louis or what you think people relocating there should know?

I'm really excited about the move, so any advice about any of these things or something I haven't mentioned I'd really appreciate!
