Want to move near San Jose
I can't figure out which option to use, but I'm leaning towards the train. I'm open to anything though, even backpacking. I want the best experience possible on the way there since CA will probably be so radically different and I've never been to a big city before. I also want to meet tons of people on the way.
I figured asking /n/ would be the best avenue here
hope you have a lot saved up. first+last+security deposit is going to run you at least $3-5k, with monthly rent of $1500 for a one bedroom apartment, even in the shitty parts of town. and you need a car to reasonably get around, or be prepared for a 10 minute drive to take 90 minutes with all the stops and transfers.
sorry to shit on your parade, just want you to be forewarned instead of waiting til you get here to get hit by sticker shock.
SJ doesn't really have a big city feel, it's more like one giant suburb.

Grew up there, downtown is THE only place that gives that big city place. Be careful, crime of all sorts has been on a rise over the past few years.
