If you've just graduated from college are wondering where to go next, The Daily Beast says Seattle is a good choice. The news blog has issued its second annual list of 25 best cities for recent college graduates and Seattle is ranked at number 21. 

The Daily Beast judged cities by housing, employment, affordability and social opportunities. Seattle was found to have a "boast worthy cost of living". Well, maybe the bursting of the housing bubble was good for something, after all.

Fayetteville, North Carolina topped the list, followed by Omaha and Oklahoma City. Honolulu rounded out the list at #25.
