"Being from the west coast, coming to Philadelphia for three years would be a dream for me. I am a big history buff, so getting to explore Independence Hall and other landmarks would be exciting.

If you have lived in or visited the city or adjacent cities, you should mention this fact. If you know anyone there, talk about the good things they have told you. If it is an unfamiliar city or region, discuss traits that are unique to the city that would intrigue you and explain why an applicant may be open to living in the area. Ensure that your interviewers understand that you have done your homework on the city and can see yourself thriving there.
