Big city or something more rural? Does it matter?

Thanks everyone for your input. It seems there are plenty of opportunities and things to do regardless of the size or location of the school. Honestly I do not foresee myself partying much, but I do want to get involved on campus. Social interactions are important to me. Having lived in a more rural town, I sometimes get cabin fever.

I don’t mind a more rural environment, but I think I’d like to have access to something more urban. I suppose a fair compromise would be to keep colleges located within a reasonable distance (one hour or so) within a downtown area. I would be comfortable so long as I can hop on a bus or train (or possibly drive, not sure if I will have a car yet). Again, this is partly for having something to do, but also to have access to interviews and networking down the road.
