Yeah, I moved to the country in 9th grade. I went from a school where my class was about 1k kids, to one that was about 150 kids, to a graduating class of 28.

I lived on a farm and goat dairy, and there's a good reason I got a degree in information technology. Although I still have to go help my mom with stuff a few times a month.

It's definitely not fun when doing literally anything is a 30+ mile round trip, and that trip is to a town with a Walmart and a few restaurants.

The ideal town size is around 100k people. There's not a ton of people so traffic isn't awful, but there's still plenty of stuff to do.

The only plus is that I have 21 acres to grow food on when society collapses.
