“urban versus rural”

You mean suburban. Evanston is a suburb.

And FWIW Ithaca is a city. Albeit a small city. It’s a college town. There is certainly rural around it. And in it too. But the point is,once you head down the hill from Cornell to downtown Ithaca you encounter a string of bars, restaurants, entertainment (eg movies) & shops on the Ithaca commons. Not bales of hay and tumbleweed, which is the image you might otherwise be getting. And the surrounding area has great natural beauty.

A visit shoud clear things up.
