idk about stanford specifically, but in general the more populated and urban the area is to live in the more options and variety always exist
If you're in a city there's a good chance that there are several local sports teams vying for your money and attention, as well as more (maybe endless) options on things like dining, social clubs, shows/concerts/community events, parks, people to hang out with, etc.
It's not that they have tons of unique things that other places don't, but more that they have 100x the options of the same things that other places also have.
For example, around me in Chicago this week I've got 3 friends with shows, 4 different pumpkin patches going on, 5 different themed pop up bars, the Bears, the Blackhawks, the Bulls, Northwestern, two zoos with fall/holiday events, three shows i'm interested in that aren't my friends, a filmmaker showcase, haunted boat tours, special screenings of classic horror films all over the city, so on and so forth. And that's just a small smattering of special events to this week and not including everything else that's always available.
:blink:
When we moved to a small town in central Nebraska from a more populated area, our friends asked...."But, what are you going to do in a small town?" Well......our lives actually got busier.
For the record, just in our own small town, we have HS sports, a pumpkin patch, Movie theater for "shows", lakes for great fishing and water sports, hunting, hockey games 45 minutes away (probably less drive time than many in Chicago for sporting events) three bars, Hospital Benefit Ball this Saturday....bla bla bla bla.......
On any given Saturday, I could EASILY find something else to do for fun.
And....like someone said.....in LA, there are more people to go to all those things. So.....the excuse is idiotic and tiresome.
