With the school year coming to a close, seniors nationwide will soon graduate and enter the job market. Based on a recent Apartment Guide survey of soon-to-be graduates, finding work is a top priority.

According to the survey's results, 80 percent of students have jobs on their mind, and are willing to move to whatever city has a job for them. For this reason, it may be in these individuals' best interest to take a career test, figure out what type of profession is right for them and find a city that can offer them opportunities in this line of work.

Of course, if helps if students know which cities are considered to be the best for young job seekers like themselves. Fortunately, Rent.com recently released a list of what it considers to be the 10 best cities for college graduates in 2013.

The list, which appears on Forbes' website, provides students with information on each city's mean annual income, median price for a one-bedroom apartment and unemployment rate. For example, those who are thinking about moving to Boston, Massachusetts, can expect to pay around $1,590 for a one-bedroom apartment and encounter a 5.9 percent unemployment rate.

Of the entries on the list, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota, has the lowest unemployment rate - 5.1 percent. The other cities on the list are Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Raleigh, Seattle, St. Louis and Washington, D.C.
