I understand that urge to want to live in a bigger place. It's unfortunate that you spent your university years in an even smaller city rather than going to say Toronto or Montreal. I left Calgary half way through my undergrad to go to U of T - mostly because I liked big cities and wanted to experience that vibe - felt that I needed a change of scenery. I got to experience that and enjoyed it quite a lot over the 6 years total that I ended up living there in two different 3 year stints. But, eventually I made my way back to Calgary, where I work to help make it a better city and love every minute of it.

Almost any city can be dull or extremely engaging and interesting- 90% is what YOU make of it - how involved you become in what's going on.
