Moving to Midland
An oil boom in Midland has meant that the city has seen an increase in population in recent years as well as an increase in the cost of living, although it is still considered reasonable compared to a number of other US cities, as well as other major cities in Texas. There are three major public schools in Midland as well as a number of private schools and expats moving to Midland will find that they have great recommendations. There is also a major college in the city, Midland College which offers a number of courses in subjects including aviation, IT and others. Midland is known for having a warm climate, with long hot summers. Winters, on the other hand, are milder and much shorter than in many other areas of the US, and there is little rainfall, most of which takes place in the summer. Any expatriate moving to Midland will benefit from joining InterNations where they can connect with other expats in order to network, socialize, or find out information about moving to Texas, and may be able to get advice and information about areas such as housing, education and transport in Midland.
