<p>What kind of environment do you prefer to go to school in, or where are you going now or in the future? I personally prefer large cities over small towns where the school is the main attraction. Any thoughts or comments...</p>
<p>Small.
I grew up in a small city and moving away from home is a big change as it is, so i wouldn’t want to add to my anxiety. </p>
<p>I would like to go to UCLA or Miami for law school though. One place i could never go for school or live is NY. The place is nice to visit but i don’t think i would ever survive in that city.</p>
<p>Larger cities tend to have more crime; all other things being equal, I would advise a small town.</p>
<p>I grew up in near a large city and then moved to a small town for HS where the whole economy was shot except for the university located in the center…and I miss my hometown city atmosphere terribly.
My one requirement for college was a big city. Somewhere with excitement, public transportation and professional sports (ahaha). I ended up choosing a school that’s like a city itself and reminds me a lot of my hometown; busy, middle of the city, public transportation.
…It’s all personal preference. A lot of my HS friends, from this small town, are either staying here or going to even smaller towns. “Somewhere I can hunt deer and fourwheel.” Honestly, not my type of environment.</p>
<p>I like “college towns” where most of the activity revolves around the school.</p>
<p>However, I don’t mean “small towns.” I like college towns with big campuses. </p>
<p>Think Penn State, WVU, ect.</p>
<p>As an athlete, I didn’t like programs in big cities because the football team always played second fiddle to the pro-sports and took away from the college atmosphere.</p>
<p>if i don’t relaly know the area, i’d go for a smaller town. I would be hesitant to go to LA, for example, since I don’t really know the area. I know Seattle very well though, since I grew up there, took buses everywhere… and actually really enjoy the large city scene if I am familiar with the area. Thus… UW HERE I COME! :D</p>
<p>I would not go into LA without an M16, a bulletproof vest, and an armoured vehicle.</p>
<p>Going to ASU, so definitely the large campus/big city environment. :)</p>
