<p>I was just wondering if students in general get kind of bored eventually if their college isnt in an at-least mid-sized city, or near one. </p>
<p>if the campus is located in a college town, i guess it would be a lot better than if the college was the only thing thats where it is.</p>
<p>if the college was in or near a big city, wouldnt the amount of things to do multiply infiinitely?</p>
<p>Not necessarily, particularly if you are the standard poor college student. I nearly went to a school that was in the middle of nowhere, but they were very aware of their location and its implications for student social life and they had TONS of events on campus, there would have been something for everybody. While being in or near a city is definitely a perk in terms of things to do, a more suburban or rural school can manage, too. Though I would be wary because a lot of rural schools end up with a heavy drinking culture for lack of anything better to do. You’d have to do your research about all the schools you’d be considering.</p>
<p>As someone with zero spending money, my options are pretty much limited to events put on by the school (with few exceptions) so in my case the suburban or rural school might even have been a better choice because the school would not be able to rely on the city to keep its students interest.</p>
<p>I think it really depends on your personality. Even though where I go to school is definitely a college town, I’m a coastal, big-city type and thus I can barely stand this oceanless, somewhere between suburban and rural area.</p>
<p>It all differs for everyone, I prefer schools in the Midwest compared to the cities in the Northeast.</p>
<p>I go to a school in the middle of no where(20 miles from the border of canada in NY, the closest city is ottawa) and we just do a lot of things on campus. The school has concerts and most people seem into sports so the hockey games are HUGE(RPI sucks, SLU swallows).</p>
<p>Plus when you really just need to be in civilization you can travel to watertown or ottawa for fun.
I personally like it.</p>
<p>Like others have said it depends. Being in a real college town can be just as good as being in a big city. I’d want one of those two. Right now I’m in good old suburbia @_@</p>
