I want to move, but I'm not sure where.

EDIT: How would I go about this? Sell most of my things? Do I fly or Drive a U-Haul? How would I find a place to live?

Cliffs if you need them:
-Want to move
-Want a place with seasons i.e. Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring
-Want to transfer to a good business school, currently majoring in marketing in my sophomore year
-maybe have a local community college
-not to expensive to live, I don't want to have to work 40+ hours a week just to pay rent
-I want a place that has grocery stores, computer store, a mall, basically civilization.

5-10 mins of leaving city limits of any of those places are you can be in the middle of nowhere. Not sure how the schools in those city rank as far as business schools go but Marshall and WVU aren't bad schools. Charleston has WV State which is looked down on and the University of Charleston which I know very little of other then its private and small. Rent and housing is really cheap but then you aren't going to make $10 an hour working at a fast food joint here either.

Could you give reasons please? 🙂

It fits all your requirements except the low cost of living. I doubt you can get by with the $320 you currently pay unless you share a bedroom with someone and that probably wouldn't cover utilities either.
 
Why not Indianapolis or Lafayette, IN? You definitely have four distinct seasons here. IUPUI is here (in Indy) and Purdue is in Lafayette, as well as IvyTech, a statewide community college.

Both towns are rapidly growing and benefit from fairly low cost of living.

Boston is basically a college city for 9 months out of the year. However, you won't find anywhere to live for anywhere close to $320 per month, and the city is a hell of a lot larger than 58,000 people.

I'd suggest Knoxville, TN. It pretty much fits all your requirements.

Columbia was going to be my recommendation as well. I'm also an MU grad.

Lots of bars, lots of pretty girls, I really don't have any complaints. I'm now in the KC area and wouldn't mind moving to someplace warmer. I don't care for winter.

seconded. hot summers, frigid winters, great fall colors. IUPUI is a pretty good school and you graduate with an IU degree. everything can be reached in 30 minutes in indy. downtown is surprisingly nice with the bars, food and other things to do. there are multiple colleges and universities in indianapolis so there is plenty of opportunity to meet the opposite sex, especially in broadripple which is a strip of 12 or so bars.
 
Urbana-Champaign, IL.

4 true seasons. Large university with an excellent business/MBA program. Reasonable cost of living.

Iowa City, IA would be another. The University of Iowa is a very good public school and the town rocks. I lived there for 5 years and really miss it. Reasonably priced, very friendly people, and a college atmosphere that is great. Good community college too.

I'm not far from Fort Collins. Nice college town.

But as far as Redding, CA goes...do not go there. Redding sucks.

How about Spokane? A bit larger city than you're looking for,but still has kind of a small-town feel, has a couple of good colleges (SCC, SFCC, EWSU, WSU, Whitman, etc) within a relatively easy drive...well, Pullman s a bit far, (90 miles) DEFINITELY has 4 seasons, housing is reasonable, several malls, overall, not a bad place to live.

Yeah, I second that. Champaign-Urbana kind of meets what you're describing.
