I had an interesting conversation with a woman I met at a party in college. She grew up in NYC and was attending a small college, and I grew up in a small town in upstate NY and was attending SUNY-Albany (a larger, densely populated college). We both complained that we couldn’t get any privacy.
She said that everybody at her college knew her. At home, she could walk out into the street and and be alone because no one knew her.
I said that I couldn’t get away from people. At home, I could walk into the woods and be by myself. We both came away with new perspectives.
