Answer
St Louis is a pretty affordable town to find housing. I would recommend the St. Louis Hills area of south city, Maplewood or University City if you are looking to rent and needing public transportation. Our buses and Metrolink trains arent the most convenient. While the areas of South County are by far nicer (and a little more expensive) it would be difficult to get around without a car.
Zipcars are available through Enterprise Leasing and a lot of the students at Washington Univ use them.
There is a large Asian population both in the South Grand neighborhood and also on Olive Blvd close to University City. Both neighborhoods are safe and have lots of interesting things to do. St. Louis is a very diverse city so you will certainly feel at home.
There are several large companies who call St.Louis their headquarters but jobs would depend on what you have experience or training in. We have quite a few large hospitals but we are also home to Boeing Aircraft, Ralston Purina, Anheuser Busch and other industries.

Zipcar or Rental Car?
JR
How exactly does a zipcar process work? Is it actually a better option than renting a car because they actually sound the same? It does sound like renting a zipcar may cost more than a rental. Does anyone have any info. on this?

not so with car rentals
