Make sure you do your research if you pick Bridgeport , New Haven or Hartford . They are all among the most dangerous cities in the country and it ' s easy to end up in a bad area . So just keep that in mind when you see cheaper apartments . I know someone who would commute from Norwalk to Danbury , and he seemed to like it there . Very pricey though . Are you going to be living on your own ? Danbury is probably your best bet , although there ' s still not a lot there . You ' ll probably still have to drive most places , so you could also consider some of the small towns nearby . Maybe Bethel or Ridgefield ? Then you ' d avoid traffic on the 84 . <| sep |> What do you use as an alternative ? <| sep |> our favourite interviewer is back , yay !
