What is life like in Jacksonville, FL?


What is life like in Jacksonville, FL?
Looking at moving out to Florida for school, there are three locations I could go to. I just want to know the type of people there, nightlife, the vibe/energy, basically anything you want to tell me about it. All info is appreciated.

Jacksonville is literally the largest city in terms of area in the continental US (over 800 square miles) so there's a LOT of variation. If you have specific questions, drop me a line.

The people here down-to-Earth, not too Southern but not too Northern folks who are generally hospitable. Alot of ties to the military here. Also many immigrants the Philippines, South America, and Bosnia. Nightlife is pretty good, you just have to ask around once you get here. The most notable is Club Paris which Paris Hilton famously opened here a couple years back yet failed to show for the grand opening. As said above, Jacksonville is a largely spaced out city, you will need a vehicle. Despite that there are many communities with bike trails. The outdoors are beautiful and there are plenty of parks. We are a river city (the only one in the world that flows from South to North besides the Nile) and a beach city. There are always events and something to do, partially because of the University of North Florida, Jacksonville University, and Florida Coastal Law School. Any more questions, just drop a line. :)
