Dr. Moreau
Many young adults move to large cities after finishing their education. Cities offer more jobs, entertainment, and cultural activities. However, living costs are high, and some people say it is harder to build close relationships there. Other young people choose to stay in or move to small towns. In your opinion, is it better for young adults to live in a big city or a small town? Why?

Hana
A big city, definitely. When you're young, you need opportunities. In my hometown, there were only a few companies, but in the city I've met people from every kind of job and found an internship in my field.

Marcus
I prefer small towns. Rent is so much cheaper that young people can actually save money. Also, you know your neighbors, and people help each other, which is hard to find in a big city.
