Moved to Laramie for grad school from coastal California with my husband. We are in our late twenties/early thirties and we have loved our experience here and intend to stay longer than we anticipated.
The location is pretty ideal (for us)! There is amazing access to outdoor activities all within 20min-1 hour range. The community here is welcoming and cares about each other. For Wyoming, I think Laramie has more cultural diversity than other places because of the University. And what can't be found in Laramie, is available just a two hour drive south to Denver.
No place is perfect, and I think the less than ideal things about Laramie are the weather/wind and lack of job opportunities. Lots of entry level restaurant and service industry work and then higher level jobs. Low local wages and job shortages actually have created a community housing affordability crisis. Something to seriously consider.

Laramie! So many things... it is a beautiful place. There is great food especially if you’re vegetarian or vegan. They really have all options. Laramie has a big campus and it’s fun because there is a great diversity in ages and ethnicity and groups! The weather is awesome if you love all four seasons and outdoorsy things! There are great spots for hiking and fishing and camping. Not only that, Laramie is very close proximity to Colorado for shopping and more. Laramie has a great environment, great nightlife, and it always feels safe. There are wonderful places for studying and just hanging out! I love to live there.
We love it here. Theres a great community here. The people are nice, the schools are great and the restaurants are amazing. The fact that it's a college town makes it a little much to handle sometimes. But we do it.
Close to Cheyenne, so there's shopping and good food, but small town enough to be safe and secure. You can leave your door unlocked and you won't have problem. Neighbors are nice! they say hello, they care about you and that part is very nice. We are refugees from California, we hated it there. Crime was terrible, politics were horrible and the Realestate market was insane! Not here!
