What is Grant’s six-month test for choosing a first neighborhood after Texas A&M?

Quick answer

Imagine an ordinary week six months after the move, once the novelty is gone. Where are your friends likely to be? How often are you driving to see them? Where do you work out, eat, worship, walk or spend weekends? Does the neighborhood still make those routines easy? Grant likes this test because it shifts the decision from tour-day excitement to the life you are actually trying to build.
