Big city or something more rural? Does it matter?

My son is in a large university in a small college town. Lots of their activities are on campus and in the small town (quite a bit to do around it). There is so much to do that they don’t have to leave but there a is very big city 2 hours away and the kids go there for major league sports, concerts, parties, etc. No one feels it is that far. There is another big city an hour away but they usually only go there for shopping trips. His campus is extremely friendly and close. He is totally happy to be there most of the time.

It is all what you look for. We are from TX and driving 2 hours is not a big deal at all (barely gets us to the other side of town). Most of the kids he is with are from the plains states and they think nothing of going that far either.

If you want everything including the museums, major league sports, huge concerts, etc. nearby maybe a larger city is better.

My son is from a large city and has had no problems with the transition but it all depends on the student!
