Living In The City Vs City Life

There are many stereotypes associated with people who live in the city and people who live in a small town. A lot of stereotypes lean towards people who grow up in a small town do not have the chance to receive a finer education, or everyone who lives in the city are rude and arrogant. On contrary to these stereotypes, people raised in a small town can receive an adequate education and not everyone who lives in the city is rude. Personally, when I transferred from a middle school with a 1000 students to a school who had roughly 300 students I noticed

Compared to the city, the country has far less crime and many feel comfortable leaving their doors

Living in a large city was a good experience for me and taught me a lot. You can meet a lot of interesting people, and see a lot of amusing sites for fun, social outings. Every kid or person that moves around a lot, hopes to end up in an city like Atlanta at least once. I got that chance, with my only bad experience coming from being enrolled in the DeKalb County School System. In the end, I enjoy living in Atlanta, and I find the big city life a better fit for

People in the city generally have much different ways of living and worldviews than people in the country. Adherence to rural customs may begin to slacken, groups of acquaintances and

Living and growing up in a small town is better than doing so in a big city.

There are definitely more conveniences living in the city. Grocery stores are within blocks from your home, a gas station is to be found on every corner, and banks and hospitals are within walking distance. Living in the country means commuting to get to these places. It also means having to be prepared and making several stops to get all things accomplished in one day to avoid traveling back and forth several times in one week.

If you had the choice to live in the city or in the country, which would you choose? Are you the hustle-bustle type who cannot seem to find enough hours in one day? Or are you someone who is much more easy-going and would rather have all of the time in the world to finish one assignment? City dwellers and country dwellers may be only a few miles apart, but what they do in their leisure time is often be completely different.

David O’Sullivan, from Yonkers NY, brought up some positive things about living in New York City. He talked about the very social environment. “I moved from there to Morehead, KY and it is totally opposite. I like clubs, bowling alleys, a choice of a million restaurants to eat at, and places to hang out, which are the things New York City has.” David also brought up the point that you do not have to own a car in the city. He took the subway everywhere, and got around much faster than compared to dealing with

Another key point is commuting. People who live in the urban community have better access to public transportation. Citizens can easily get around by walking, taking a bus, and riding the train at a lower cost. In contrast, owning a home in suburb can be costly for many people. Not only do people have to keep up with their mortgages, but they sometimes have to pay a yard maintenance fee and their Home Owners Association (HOA) dues for the up-keeping of the neighborhood which can be very costly. Besides the home cost, people who live in suburban neighborhoods do have the convenience of traveling in the comfort of their own vehicle, and they do not deal with the concerns of public transportation. However, they still have to deal with the cost for long commuting and the wear and tear of the vehicle.

Many families and individuals find themselves at some point questioning the advantages of city living versus country living. It is nearly impossible to find a good answer to this question. What is good for one person might not be good for another. Some people enjoy the busy, hyper active metropolitan city where they can use all amenities and have unlimited opportunities for work and leisure. At the same time, other people feel the urge to be closer to Mother Nature, relaxation, beauty, and peace. They take pleasure in living in the calm and peaceful environment of the countryside and spending their free time fishing, hiking, picking berries in the woods, or playing in the creek. In my opinion, the nature

The next thing to consider is the pace of life in both areas. At the beach the pace of life is slow. So it is the great place to go to relax and take things one day at a time. Things are mellow and not a lot of unhappiness. At the beach there can be a crowd but there is always an empty spot for you or someone else. People are friendly and always willing to talk to you and help you in any way you need. In the city the pace is much faster. It seems as people are always coming and going. Streets are packed at all times of the day. People are grumpy and unhappy

Everyone has a different lifestyle. People sometimes have to decide where they want to live. Some people prefer to live in the city while other people choose to live in the countryside. Their choice depends upon their bachground. City lifestyle and country lifestyle are two different types of living. Although, these two types of living differ from each other by environment, job opportunities and cost of living; they also have similar features such as daily routine, values and people live and work in these areas.

The decision that I am considering is where I am going to live after I graduate college with my Masters in athletic training. The values that I am looking for in the city I am going to move to are a good starting salary for my job, the climate of the city, job availability, how high the crime rates for that city are, how many things that city has to offer for you to do, and proximity to a big city. The places that I am considering for where I am going to live are Charlottesville Virginia, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, Camden New Jersey, Newark-Union New Jersey, and Chattanooga Tennessee. After going through the options and researching them I have narrowed it down to two cities, which are Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and Charlottesville Virginia. The reason that I have narrowed it down to these two cities is because they are both beautiful and have a lot of character to them. Also both of these cities offer what I am looking for in the city I want to move to. Charlottesville’s average salary for an athletic trainer is 65,150 dollars. Charlottesville has many positive things about it which in include; it has a good salary for my career, it is close to D.C, it is a diverse city, and it has a beach. Although it has positive things about it, it also has negatives which include; heavy traffic and high property values. Also it has things about it which are both positive and negative like that it is a small- overgrown college town. Charlottesville has skyline drive which is a beautiful place with a gorgeous view of the Mountains in Shenandoah National Park. Charlottesville has many things to do like my hometown like hiking for an example. In Charlottesville you can go on a hike through the boulder-studded slopes of the Ragged Mountains and enjoy the beautiful sights of the mature oak, pine,maple trees, and more than four miles of shoreline. This landscape actually inspired Edgar Allan Poe’s A Tale of the Ragged Mountains. During the fall Charlottesville has warm days and crisp night, perfect for shorts during the daylight but nice cozy clothing at night. Living in Charlottesville gives me better access to attend the Virginia Film Festival during the fall. During the fall I would also get to experience of watching a migration

Urban society is highly structured society. People are aware in urban society. Rules and responsibilities are defined. Urban society is a fast pace of life. People know their rights, needs and their problems. It is a developed society. People are social. They do not have time to sit together and have a chit chat with each other. People even do not have time for their families. All members of the family live in separate rooms and they do not have time for each other.

Although living in the city has many advantages there are some disadvantages too, the cost of the living is very high in the city, the city is always noisy, no fresh air and pure water. So it is hard to lead a healthy life. On other hand the village the undeveloped area for example, we cannot easily get many facilities the insufficient medical and education facilities, few opportunities to make money, little entertainment, no or little public transportation, also less facilities than a big city offers.
