Ok, regarding this city vs rural area thing, I have this to say. I lived in a city practically all my life (in Taiwan, I lived in Taipei and Singapore is practically a city-country). Still, I think I can do fine without the things in a city, be it the malls and supermarkets, or the movies and other entertainment resources. In fact, I may like an area that is quieter and ideal for studying. I know that’ll make UIUC more applicable to me, but the prestige attached to UCLA (almost no one has an idea of what UIUC is in Taiwan) is quite attractive.
