I think if you want to try it, give it a shot. Buying or renting in rural areas is almost always cheaper than in cities. Do you already own a car? You'll need one. If you hate it, you can bounce without losing much money at least. I grew up in a rural town and was ready to leave by the time I was 18. Lived in cities for 10 years and loved it. Urban and rural are very different and each have their pros and cons. I think it's basically a personality thing for which you'll prefer, and of course, each city/town has its own unique benefits and problems. Different strokes for different folks. Just avoid the suburbs!
