Currently go to school in the city, Temple University. I have both lived in the city on Spring Garden Street and lived in the suburbs of the city all my life. I live around the Main line area and like eatonphil said it is the nicest area of the suburbs.

First Ill talk about the main line, it is a great place to grow up/ or live if you are in your mid to late 20s. From Ardmore, Lower Merion, Bryn Mawr, Malvern, Paloi, Exton, and continuing on to King of Prussia have a lot of great places to live and a lot of companies. Espically in Malervn their is a large presence of companies. I take the regional rail train from the suburbs into the city for school and it is super easy and kind of relaxing.

In the city, certain areas of the city are blowing up right now and it really is a fun place to live. I lived around 12th and Spring Garden and apartments were being built in every empty lot and there are so many young people its a great place to be. There is so many great bars to go too and amazing restaurants throughout the city its awesome.
