Noise
As cities tend to be busy, you may have to deal with noise that you aren't used to. There are several strategies that you can develop to deal with this. Firstly you will need to identify why it is a problem for you or if it even is. For most people, noise will be an issue when they are trying to sleep. In order to deal with this, a good idea is to buy earplugs to block out the sound. Alternatively, you can put headphones in and listen to music or white noise. The degree that noise will be an issue for you will depend greatly on both where you are in the city as well as on you as a person.
Job opportunities
Due to how developed they are, cities tend to have more job opportunities than less developed rural areas. This cna make living in the city a very appealing prospect especially if you are looking to work for something such as a big corporation. Of course, despite the increase in overall job opportunities, there will be some jobs or industries that have less opportunities in the city. For example, you are very unlikely to get a job as a dairy farmer living in the city. The main thing is to look at your skill set as well as at what you are interested in doing and think about whether that job would be suited to the city.
Cost of living
Although this is not always the case, cities tend to have a relatively higher cost of living when compared to rural areas. There are several reasons for this most of which stem from population density. Because there are a lot of people in a city, there is a lot of demand for housing. This increases the cost of both buying a home as well as renting. The increase in higher paying job opportunities in the city means that a lot of things are marketed to the upper or middle class rather than the working class, this can increase the price of various goods and services that you may need to buy
Access to services
One of the best things about living in a city is that you will never be far from anything essential that you need. Hospitals, doctors, supermarkets and various other services are in abundance in a city. This is because of the population density which allows a city to sustain multiple of such services over a smaller area. This is compared to rural areas where you may need to drive for a fair distance to get to such places.
