Living in A Small Town or in A City

Depending on where you were brought up and your individual personality, you might prefer living in the big city, where things are happening 24 hours a day, rather than being surrounded by fields and the more relaxed pace. Many people seem to think city life is too fast paced or too fake for them to enjoy a city life. There are many reasons why I love the city life compare than live in a small town. They are in terms of transportation, environment, educational institutions and job opportunities.

Cities offer many means of public transportation, including taxis, buses and airports. All of these transportations are run late into the night and are much more frequent. Hearing all of the hustle and bustle going on out side of my house, seems to give me a since, that I am not alone in this world. In a small town, the transportations are hard to find. Some of the residents do not have transportation. Living in a small town for me seems to be very dull life. There is nothing like living in the city, because to me the life will be too quiet.

Most major cities have a large of educational opportunities. There are many well-respected universities and specialized trade schools. For example, fashion and music schools are sometimes only found in major cities. Most city centre schools for children are equipped with educational resources not offered in other schools. In small town, there are good schools, safe areas and lots of playmates are available. On the other hand, areas like this tend to be sheltered from the real world. Also, when teenagers get off for college and things they often experience a big culture shock. Entering the real world after growing up in the clean, well groomed society they were used to is a big change.

It is a fact that the bigger a city is, the more places to work it offers. Besides that, those shopping malls are requiring workers for a huge number of employees, big and small businesses, restaurants and cafes. On the one hand, chances to find a job in a big city are really higher more than in a small town. More job opportunities in a big city that illustrate how many people apply for an average job position. Many people move from small towns to big cities get a really good job. It is because in a small town job opportunities are very little.

In conclusion, living in the city can be a very exciting place to live and work. It is because, city life has many things to offer from entertainment and the people that live here. Many people grew up in the city and others are stuck in the city for financial reasons. I on the other hand got to see my little town grow up to become a major city. That is why I love the city so much, because I have lived in both worlds.

Public University or Private Institution

Well education is very important in our life. It is depend on us to choose wisely. We have to choose whether prefer to study in public university or private institution. However, both of it has it owns benefits. Although many people choose to study in a private institution, we are more prefer to choose study in a public university. It is because study in a public university has many benefits. Some of the benefits are the tuition cost is cheap, more prestigious and easier for a student to gain admission.

Easily the most visible different between public and private university is the cost of tuition which is much higher at a private university. In general private tuition fee is approximately 9 to 10 time higher than it is at a public tuition. This is because private universities rely directly on student and alumni funding in order to operate. Unlike a public state university the private university receives no direct subsidy from the state that the university is located in. Besides that, in semester and quarter system does not different in the total price of the tuition.

Furthermore, public universities are more prestigious as a private university and some career might be more easily to enter after graduation. Students who do not achieve high enough grade to gain admittance into a private university maybe easier to get into the curriculum maybe just as difficult as or more difficult than a public university.

In addition, public universities are also much easier for a student to gain admission to especially if the student is the resident of the state in which the university is located in. In some instance, public university have program that automatically accept transfer student that have completed a certain level of outside credit in a different state college. Besides that, students have more of choice as to which area of the country to attend school at when they select a public university. Since the chances of being accepted at such a public university in any climate geographical region or city they desire.

Public university although more prestigious and well-respected are not automatically superiorr to private university. Overall, the most important factor of a successful education is how well suited the school is to the individual student’s needs and career interests. Students should considerate their ideal university’s unique programs and course offerings before deciding on which school to attend.
