Big city's offer a variety of cultural, educational, employment and entertainment opportunities that would be hard to come by in a smaller community.
Living in a city centre offers any city dweller a spectrum of conveniences. Theatres, museums, concert halls and cinemas are just a few of the entertainment benefits of a big city. When looking for a good restaurant you have many choices. There are restaurants and pubs on almost every corner. Some of the world's most famous chefs have restaurants located in big cities. If a five star restaurant is not your taste, there are always a lot of local family run eatery's to chose from.
Most major cities have a large array of educational opportunities. Many well-respected university's and specialized trade schools, such as fashion and music schools, are sometimes only found in major cities.

When you live in a big city a night on the town is only a short cab ride away. With a variety of clubs, concerts, comedy clubs and things of that sort you're never at a loss for what to do on a Friday night. If you are a single person living in a city centre the large population and social hot spots can increase your chances of meeting a potential partner.
