I chose Tallinn because of two primary reasons, firstly Rob lives there, and although I'm kind of an isolated person myself, I didn't feel comfortable living in a city where I didn't have at least one person extremely close to me, and two I went with the assumption that there'd be better quality of life in the larger city. I have since arriving however heard a few times that Tartu is quite a bit more peaceful and still has all the important stuff that Tallinn does so YMMV.
