This article from Realtor.org ranks Philadelphia the 2nd best city in the nation for recent college grads - behind Indianapolis which seems to have stolen it's #1 spot because of dirt cheap rents. To anyone living in Philadelphia it's obvious that there are plenty of college and post-college aged folks around, and thankfully we're getting some recognition for it.
Additionally, the rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Indianapolis could cover the mortgage on a nice 3br house in some of Philly's hippest post-college neighborhoods. Not only does the City of Brother Love offer the lifestyle and jobs that recent grads demand, but with the affordability of our housing stock it allows them to become homeowners and start building wealth much earlier than most other locales on the list.
