Hey college graduates, if you're looking for a city that will provide you with jobs, affordable housing and a good social life you should move to Atlanta.

A new book ranked Atlanta as No. 10 on its list of the Top 10 cities for recent graduates.

Chicago received the top honor from the authors of "Gradspot.com's Guide to Life After College."

Why Atlanta? The authors described the city as a "sprawling metropolis with a southern swagger" with affordable rents, a strong music scene and a good supply of bars, clubs and lounges.

But they warn Atlanta isn't the right place for anyone that hates traffic and R&B.

The remaining top cities, listed by rank, are: San Francisco, Seattle, New York, Boston, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles and Washington DC.
