Why in either case? Which state would you choose? Which university? Why?

big city....more diversity....more opportunities for international students to connect with people from their homeland....NYC as in any CUNY or NYU or Columbia or Pace Univ. if you can get into those....because NY is the greatest city in the world and because you won't need a car and you'll get an education in people on the streets of NY as well as being in the center of the business world if your major is business and make the right connections and be close to all the famous museums and there's always something to do and not to mention the NYC library is one of the most extensive libraries in the nation....Good Luck!

It would depend on a number of factors, some mentioned already. Will you have a car? If not, a big city might be better because you will more likely have access to public transportation. What will be your budget? Moreover, you may feel too isolated in a smaller-sized college town. Choosing a state is difficult without knowing other factors--what is your potential major and what type of climate do you live in now.

Depends on what you came here to experience. If you want to experience the culture and a variety of things a college or university in a big city would be the best. But if you wanted to just take it easy and do some travelling also, the maybe one in a town. It all depends on lifestyle preferences.

a colleg town for sure. you get the full american college experience and the people are so nice and really cater to students in these towns. It is where you really feel a part of something big and you make friends for life. I got my BA at Purdue Univ. in West Lafayette and loved it. It's a great little town with nice, cheap housing, lots of friendly people and it's safe. I moved to the nyc area for graduate school and don't care for it nearly as much. I'm paying $1,500 a month to live in a dump, traffic is horrible, and there is no school spirit. Colleges here aren't anything important, so they mean little and are shown little respect. Students are also robbed close to campus too.

Why not try to find something that'll give you a bit of both?! I'm European, and I went on exchange to Brandeis University, which is in Waltham, Massachussets, 30 minutes outside of Boston. Waltham is pretty much a commuter and college town, which was nice, but at the same time I could go in to Boston (= awesome city!!!) whenever rural life got too boring.

I would personally go for a university that has good funding resources such as state universities or other medium-bigger universities as these get additional major funding from private and public sector.
Which university .....all depends on the major you want to join and your credentials. If you have a very good score GRE & TOEFL and exceptional credentials in academics and also in the field of study, then I would easily apply to top 20 schools in the area of your major.

A town. You will get a better perspective of what Americans are like. City dwellers tend to be ruder.
