Best cities for recent college grads?

Hi all! I’ll be graduating from university this summer and I am planning to make a cross-country move to Texas (took a volunteer trip to Houston a few years ago, and fell in love with it, to put it mildly).

I originally planned for Houston, but I’ve been hearing that San Antonio might be better suited for someone my age (24 when moving). What cities would you suggest?

I’ll be looking to start my career in the marketing field and I do want the big city vibe. Although I don’t mind a commute, I don’t want to sit in traffic for an hour every morning. I’m from a pretty small town, so I would enjoy being close to festivals or things to do (after the pandemic, of course!) What do you think?

Thank you for your suggestions!
