One of the main decisions college graduates face is where to plant their first roots upon graduation.

Sure, finding a job is a factor in this decision-making process, but you’ll want to ultimately end up in a spot that is ripe with diversity, your peers and has a good economic climate.

Recently, the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER) ranked the U.S. metro cities on their economic and quality of life factors, specifically the top job destinations for young college graduations.

In addition to employment opportunities, the cities that qualify high on this list took both urban life and city amenities into account – two factors the research identified as important to college graduates making a decision to move. Research found that those two factors were more important to this group than economic conditions.

The study defined the category group of young college graduates as people ages 22 to 35 years who are well-educated (as least a bachelor’s degree). Learn more about the study’s research parameters.

Unsurprisingly, more than 25 percent of young college graduates move to the largest U.S. cities – New York, L.A., Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Boston.

What is surprising, however, is to find many college towns, like Iowa City, Iowa, Bloomington, Indiana and Ann Arbor, Michigan on the list. However, when you take a closer look, it makes sense. College towns are built to be ethnically diverse and often call large corporations home.

These cities and towns host many research and technology opportunities offer economic opportunities for graduates to find employment, and often attract young people due to their low living costs and many options of restaurants and bars in downtown areas.

Bustling cities and small towns, the cities on this list fall across the spectrum when it comes to lifestyle – but they all have something great to offer. At least one of the ten cities included has something for every young college graduate’s tastes, which is exactly what any great top ten list should include.
