8、 parks and zoos, within walking distance, as well as athletic complexes. Plus, you can probably take day trips to natural settings.

10、 have a biased impression of the suburbs, based on what theyve seen on television and in the movies. What are they and the colleges in them really like? Here the term “suburb“ is used loosely, to include small cities, large towns, or the residential areas near cities. For example, both Bates College

11、 in Lewiston, Maine and Boston College in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts are in suburbs, though the areas are very different. The Best of Both Environments Suburban schools usually offer a taste of the city and country nearby, since youre close to both. Its for this reason that many people are drawn t

16、 What is its major industry? It may reveal something about the communitys personality and residents. Car or no Car? If you dont have a car, you can still get around using public or your schools transportation, but your options may be limited. If you have a car, the surrounding attractions (the city

17、or country) will be more accessible. Towns and college car policies can vary, so be sure to ask the students for advice. III.

Most ru

21、ral schools or towns provide free or cheap transportation for college students. Ask about it during a campus visit. A Sense of Community Many rural colleges are self-contained. For example, they hold most of their school activities on-campus, and organizations and clubs are usually a large part of s

22、tudent life. Plus, most rural schools are residential, with the majority of students living on-campus. This self-containment creates a sense of community among students, more so than at suburban or city schools. A Connection with the Town Even though rural colleges have their own things going on, th
