Rural or Urban?
It is true that rural areas have lower crime rates and does not need a high standard of living, things to buy are not too costly. It is also no trouble making friends living in a rural neighborhood, families live closer and they usually have same interests and same race. Livelihood is simple thus, life could be much easier.
But urban living has a lot of advantages as well, like better job opportunities and higher income. There is also a lot to explore in urban areas, more things to learn thus making you tougher and confident perhaps. Educational opportunities are also better in urban areas.
