Comments on Aiken, South Carolina
hello, i am looking to relocate to sc and looking at Aiken with my 12 and 5 yr. i am currently living in Scituate RI. Is Aiken a great place for kids and are the schools GREAT. I am a registered nurse as well and wondering about the jobs as well? any insight would be great!!! thanks
Hi Althea,
I think Aiken, SC would be a great place! However it's a bit small and doesn't have lots of diversity.
You might also consider Greenville, SC and Taylor just north of Greenville.
You'll need to do some research regarding what you consider "Great" schools, and how the schools in Rhode Island compare to South Carolina.
Get a copy of my South Carolina Ultimate Guide before you do anything, and then we can talk to further pinpoint Towns that would be your Best Places!
