Denser, less car dependent/traffic, far less sunny days and cooler throughout the year, a much higher cost of living, more tech oriented, far less black people and a lot more Asians, coastal/surrounded by water etc
Opposite of Princeton, NJ
For another college town: Lewiston, ID. One of the nation's most prestigious private schools, with a dense urban environment, close to Philadelphia and several other major cities, in a flat deciduous forest biome --- vs. an obscure state school (Lewis-Clark State College) in a relatively sprawling town, in a very dryand mountainous area in the middle of nowhere.
Location: northern Vermont - previously NM, WA, & MA

Rosemont, IL
Cairo, IL
A busy Chicagoland suburb with lots of airport hotels and economic activity at the junction of many freeways vs as far downstate as you can get in a dying vacant town at the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.

Newport, RI
Yuma AZ.
Hot, Arid not near water. Heavily Hispanic and not nearly as wealthy as Newport RI. Kind of self explanatory.

Charleston SC?
I'll rep my hometown of Lansing, MI.
Charleston is a historic, tourism oriented city in a warm area. Lansing is a planned industrial city with about as little possible of tourism vibes in a cold area.

Let's try State College, PA.
York, in the same state. Roughly equal in size (York's slightly larger), but State College is a classic college town while (older) York is heavily industrial and a lot more multiethnic. You've probably used, eaten or have heard of products made (or once made) in York: climate-control systems, thermostats, barbells, peppermint patties.... They produce nothing save ideas (and ice cream — Penn State's University Creamery is famed for its ice cream, and Ben & Jerry learned how to make ice cream by taking its correspondence course) in State College.

Kansas City, Mo.
All the major coastal cities of California would qualify, as would Las Vegas,
but I'll suggest Miami as the most-opposite of KC... if I can stereotype
KC as basically a Midwestern job-and-family kind of place.
Compare Miami... on an ocean and with a tropical climate, vs a continental one.
And it's a retirement destination, a cruise-ship port, a boating mecca, a fashion hub.
Hard to be more different from KC, I'd say.
Phoenix AZ.
