Exactly what I did when I was out there. At least with colleges you usually leave on a high note, rather than disillusionment. :/

This reminds me that I’ve been meaning to write something about how NYC and SF are unique in that people have to justify leaving and feel the need to write anguished goodbye letters, books, and Medium posts.

A big difference between San Francisco and a college is that when colleges have more demand than space, people have to apply to get in, while in San Francisco the only criteria for admission is the willingness to pay more for rent.
