Would I like Temple although I'm not exactly a city person?

Hi all-
I have a big dilemma. I was recently wait listed at my number one school, university of delaware, and I need to put down a deposit on another school before I find out from them (they don’t tell you until after May 1st, when all deposits are due)

I have been accepted to a wide variety of schools, but the only three that I am considering besides UDel are Temple, West Chester, and UConn.

When I do the pros and cons of each, the only con about Temple is the city. I live about 40 minutes from the city in a really really nice suburban area. I feel like if I go to Temple I will have a really hard time adjusting to the city setting. I really enjoy center city, but Temple isn’t in center city. Broad street scares the hell out of me.

What I was wondering was, do you think that I could easily adjust to the surrounding settings if I’m not a city person? I absolutely LOVE the campus and the opportunities that Temple has to offer. I also like that it could be relatively easy to find an internship since I am right in the city, whereas west chester isn’t really, and UConn is in the middle of nowhere. (BTW money isn’t a deciding factor in this, I recieved a small amount of money and financial aid from UConn to make it reasonable, west chester is a great price for in state, and temple gave me a little financial aid)

Help!!!
