Would you rather live in a city or village?

This is branching on from the other thread that has arisen this debate so lets settle it and get an accurate figure!

1. Say where you live. (city, town or village)

2. If you chose city, say whats so good about it and diss village life.

I live in a village and find it quite boring as most of my friends live in other villages and even with the ones that are here, there is nothing to do with them so we just get the **** expensive late bus into the city and if we were already living in the city this would not be necessary and you would meet more people and have more friends living closer.

1. Village, but it's about a 4 minutes from town.
2. It's relatively quiet, and it it's not overloaded with people. It is boring though.

I would rather live in a town/small city though, it gets the best of both worlds.

I live in a city of 35.000/40.000 people. A little boring, but I like it. I don't like overcrowded cities. Mine is quiet and nice.

love the last option.

and would far prefer village to a city. as long as it wasn't completely completely in the middle of nowhere hours away from anything

reasons... villages (in my experience) tend to have more of a community feel to them. too many people really irritate me. i like the countryside.

I would love to live in a little village that's connected by rail, but is outside of a city. I don't mind cities but I want to be able to see the stars at night, breathe fresh air and have access to the big outdoors. I didn't realise how hard it was to get into the countryside from the inner city without a car until I moved to Leicester for uni, and it is seriously depressing.

Thing is it depends what stage of life?

I grew up in a village that isn't that far away from a city and I think it's great.
I go to University in a large city and love it, though I like being able to escape to see grass and trees and stuff :p:

So -- whilst I am at University/young professional/not got children I'd like to continue living in a city
When I want to start a family I'd like to move to the suburbs so you get the best of both, small community & not far from a city

That would be nice but would you rather live in your average city or average village? (ie a village with **** public transport)

I wish I could live at Hogwarts. :emo:

I know this isn't relevant, but I cried when I realised at the age of 12 I wasn't getting in. :sad:

I would settle for living in an average city as long as it wasn't right in the city centre. The average village is dull.

1. Suburb of Manchester. It's rather boring (for lack of a better word)
2. Definitely city for me... I'd get bored otherwise. A really big city would be great, and right in the middle.

Where I live doesn't even count as a village, but I wouldn't want to live anywhere bigger. I imagine this will change as I get older though - after Uni I can easily see myself living in London.

It can be a bit of a pain when you live a bit far away from your friends/uni but it's worth it for the scenery and space.

I think I'd like to live in a city surrounded by countryside.

Without a doubt city. I already live in a village and everything closes at 5. Even the public transport stops running after 6. Everything is backwards in the countryside.
