My Review 

I love Albuquerque and came here to go to college. It has grown a lot as a city since I first came, but it still has the funky, fun atmosphere it had then, and it seems to keep getting better. It is getting big, but it isn't too big. I've been to other cities and just like the pace here, and the size, and the people. Oh, and the weather can't be beat! It's dry and not too hot, and there are real seasons. For travel, the state is beautiful and for weekend fun there are the mountains and the river. Albuquerque is such a tremendous city to live in, and I feel lucky to be here. Like many others, I came and decided to stay.
