<p>“Just being close to a city doesn’t mean you want to go there.”</p>
<p>Also being close to a city doesn’t mean you CAN go there, if you don’t have a car. Which is also on point IMO.</p>
<p>With no car, D1 went into Cleveland herself a number of times, it took a long time and she felt highly limited by the weekend bus schedules for the return trip back to campus, she said. The bus schedules may have gotten even worse since then, if I understood things people have posted correctly. One can connect at the airport to Cleveland trains but they don’t go everyplace necessarily.</p>
<p>Later on, with a car, D2 went off campus more frequently, not just to Cleveland but to surrounding areas. It was nice to have access to a few multiplex cinemas, for one thing. She went into Cleveland for shows and concerts, IIRC. And to interview for a part-time job that unfortunately she didn’t get. If she did get it, she would have been leaving campus quite more frequently, and it would only have been practical to get there with a car.</p>
