Not lived in either but visited both as a student, home campus was Blacksburg.
I think the words culture shock come to mind....Blacksburg is a pretty calm college town literally in the woods, mind there are some great P car driving roads nearby....Being a college town does make a differnce as there is a greater levle of activity then otherwise...but still.
A different pace of live and a very different perspective on what's important or not....
Since they are so different I'm not certain that any meaningful comparisons can be made, like comparing a 911 with a truck, both can be viewed as brilliant or total wastes of time depending on what you want them for....
I'd say that if you want to take a dramatic change in pace of life and perspective, and accept that life will be very different then go for it...
You'll enjoy real seasons and some very beautiful countryside. Might want to get some 4X4 in for the winter tho.....spent a little time on the road down there in winrer and 4x4 would have made life easier if less interesting...
