i loved every minute of living in hoboken, went to school there and really learned to take advantage of the town. you can't beat it's location, you're basically in the city, so if you work there you don't even need a car. and you're not paying as high a rent as in the city, nor paying 9 bucks for a chicken breast at the supermarket the size of a deli, hence cheaper food expenses. not a place if you're looking for quiet, but if you're young and love to go out it's def a place to look into.
