[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in San Antonio, which technically gets counted as a big city but it would be a very boring place to go to college IMO. But my kid's life in DC, which is very similar to that of OP's kid, is much more urban/big city style than anything one would experience in San Antonio. Maybe the difference isn't the size of the city population but something else. Whatever it is, it is real. I think it has to do with the open-mindedness of the place, how well-educated its population is (especially the mix of people that live in the urban core), whether there is a real public transportation system that facilitates non-drivers engaging in activities all across the city, and the racial mix of people who mix with one another. Another thing is the degree to which people from different economic situations interact on a regular basis. My kid knew that there was no way he'd want to be in small town USA but he did want a SLAC.
