There are a number of advantages and disadvantages of city life as well as country life. If you are having trouble choosing the right environment to live in， or if you are considering a change， then this list which shows the advantages of living in the countryside may help you out.

Less noise. Upsetting noises have become an important part of city life， such as the beep of cars， sounds of peoples talking， the telephone ringing and so on. 1

No pollution. 2 So you can actually see the huge amount of stars clearly in the sky due to the fresh air without pollutants like dust， smoke， and fog.

A more relaxing life. The pace of life in the country is usually very relaxing and not at all stressful. It gives you the chance to enjoy the little things in life. Besides， it helps you to connect with nature. 3 You have the freedom to spend your time.

4 Country life allows you to build a garden or a farm of your own. You can eat homegrown vegetables， drink fresh milk and eat freshly cut meat. The city crowd meanwhile has to live with old food items. Clearly， they worry about their freshness.
