　　Now the location of your college. Some colleges are in the center of huge cities. Some in the suburbs. And some are surrounded by fields and woods. Where your college is located will be important to your extracurricular life. The advantage of an urban college is that there are many exciting things to do off campus. Compared to a rural campus, there are more movies, plays, churches, restaurants, discos, museums and music. There is probably good public transportation. You are near airports, trains and several highways, making weekend or vacation trips to other places much easier. All of this means that off campus excitement is easy to reach and does not require a lot of planning. This can be an important part of a college education and of your growth. But this easily available entertainment can also tempt you away from your books. The disadvantages of an urban college can be expense and a lack of peace and quiet. Off campus living in the city is almost always more expensive. Even if you live at school, you’ll still eat and shop off campus often, probably more than you would at a rural campus. Many of those wonderful cultural events cost money and are hard to pass up. If you are moving to the city from the country, be prepared for unexpected expenses. An advantage of a rural college is the relaxed and often beautiful setting. Rural colleges may have a much more peaceful and cleaner air and campus activities will probably more important in your extracurricular life. It doesn’t mean that nothing happens off campus in small towns. It seems do. But they are more likely to be connected with schools. Rural colleges are often near good spots for outdoor activities, mountains, lakes and beaches. If you have any interest in outdoor activities, this is a good place to learn more. The disadvantages of the rural college can be isolation, boredom, and the difficulty of adjusting to a more relaxed life if you come from a big city. Life at a small rural college can become very in groan.
