New York City vs. Boston

My sister and I both go to college in the two of the most known cities of New England. I live in Boston and she lives in New York City. I just got home from visiting her in the city. I knew I liked city life but New York City is just too much for me. While I enjoy the fast-paced city life, I value Boston for many reasons. For one, it is much cleaner than NYC. Rarely do you see garbage bags piled on the sidewalks like you do on every block in NYC. Not to mention, Northeastern is in Boston, but still has a campus. My sister's college, Pace University, is literally one building. She lives in campus housing that is a high rise hotel transformed into suites. The rooms, even being suites, are extremely small. But hey, that's life in NYC. There is not much space at all in NYC. Yes there are beautiful parks like Central Park, but in Boston I feel like there is much more open space. New York drivers are known to be especially crazy and that's another thing I can't stand. You don't go five seconds without hearing someone beeping a horn. There are many more tourists in NYC on a regular weekend than you find in Boston. My sister and I met up with some friends just past Times Square. Navigating through that mess of people was so frustrating! I give my sister a lot of credit for putting up with that congestion. Lastly, there are so many subway lines that I find them more confusing than the T. The subways have numbers and letters- I don't know the difference between them. Although my sister and I both love cities, our idea of the perfect city is much different!
