In the United Kingdom and parts of the Commonwealth of Nations, a city is traditionally a settlement with a royal charter. Historically, in Europe, a city was understood to be an urban settlement with a cathedral, hence the official status of St David's as a city in the United Kingdom despite its population of 1,797 in 2001. Cities generally have advanced systems for sanitation, utilities, land usage, housing, and transportation. The concentration of development greatly facilitates interaction between people and businesses, benefiting both parties in the process.

Such cities are usually associated with metropolitan areas and urban sprawl, creating numerous business commuters traveling to urban centers of employment.

Q. I am not a big fan of the holidays. I just want to roam alone somewhere in the northeast. I live in New York City so I would like to take a bus or train to Philly or Boston, etc. My goal is to site see, meet new people, and bring in the New Year.

The train station is a short walk from the core of the city. Hotel prices aren't outrageous and there is lots to see and do. Philly, like Boston is full of historical sites to visit, shopping galore and more. I find it a bit less expensive than Boston. If you are willing to try something different, check out Montreal. The exchange rate isn't as good as it used to be, but this is a great city to visit and not too far by train from NYC.

What should I be doing while I'm in each city in order to figure out if I'd like spending time there for several weeks or months studying? Should I contact the schools I'm thinking of going to? And what would they tell/show me but positive things? I feel I should talk to the locals, but I'm not one to just start talking to strangers. I could pretend to be on vacation and go sightseeing, but that is not the purpose of the trip.

What I would do, I would just get a hotel near the school you will be attending just to get a feel of the atmosphere around the campus. And it's inevitable, you have to talk to strangers if you want to meet people. Especially if you're foreign.
