Barely any crime; You have to have like a 4 gpa.
I dont see very many fat people, but then again I live in Florida :fyadride::frogc00l::fyadride:
[QUOTE=ChilColdCoolaid;33431268]I guess ignorance must have rubbed off onto you as well if you really think the only thing in the south is "rednecks and ghetto black people".[/QUOTE]
Ok maybe not the hole south but I live in SC. And I'm going to stop talking shit about the south and just about the 98% that live in it.

illegal to pump it yourself

Indiana is a nice place; [I]I guess[/I].
As long as you stay away from the far north and far south, it's decent. I recommend staying in a town called Carmel. Although there are a considerable amount of stuck-ups, it's a nice hamlet. I live in a town called Greenwood, which is probably THE most boring town in the entire state.

I'm in NC. Its pretty nice, as far as in my area.

Are you, or are you not allowed to pump your own gas in New Jersey?
[editline]26th November 2011[/editline]
oh wait, it is illegal to pump your own gas in New Jersey
hence my ~land of the free~ comment
Nebraska is alright. There's little crime, cheap gas (compared to some places), good people, and all that. The only thing I wouldn't go to Nebraska for is scenery, because you won't get much of it. The drivers here kind of suck too. That's what my mom says but she will bitch at drivers for almost anything so I don't know if that counts.
Also, to anyone who says "hurr amerikanz r fat", most of us are just about right.
All depends on location to me
Despite what people say I personally like living in the south. People seem nicer, stuff is cheaper, it's easier to find a job, and it doesn't seem as... stressful.
[QUOTE=Mr.T;33429386]In about a year from now I will have to decide on which high school I want to go to in Sweden. Since the only IB (International Baccalaureate) school where I live is shit I have to resort to other options. I was thinking of going to a IB high school in the United States.
So what I'm asking is, how is high school and life in general in the US? Does it vary between the different states or cities? I would love to go to a high school [B]in a city[/B] like [B]San Francisco or New York.[/B]
Thanks.[/QUOTE]
no, you don't

A third of your population over 20 is obese, and another third are overweight.
So most of you are fat. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Better to gorge yourself on plentiful food, as opposed to starving in a shithole.

I don't see how a ten or so pounds over-weight is obese. But if that's what the internet says, so be it.

what the fuck are you saying?
your post don't even make sense
Obese and overweight have pretty clearly quantitatively defined categories
and no, not the internet you fucking moron, the entirety of the medical establishment

If anything, people will be friendlier to you because you're foreign. Americans get hard-ons when they meet someone that's from a foreign country.[/QUOTE]
This is extremely true.
I am in Texas, and we have this foreign exchange student, from Germany, in my school. And the first day, she got crowded around by 15 people shooting off questions.
it was almost comical to be honest.
Aww, everyone's shitting on the South. Y'all is be hurtin' mah feelin's now. :suicide:
In all sincerity, though, if you were to visit a Southern state I would only recommend Virginia or the Carolinas. I live in Georgia and pretty much the only way you're not going to have a terrible time here is if you've been living here your whole life and know how to act around the two very distinct cultures. Unless you want to spend your entire life living in Little 5 Points, AKA Hipsterville, you don't want to come here as your first exposure to America and you definitely don't want to come here for the high school education.
As other people are saying, it varies by state, and sometimes parts of state. Florida is all horrible, but Tennessee is pretty nice in the middle area, dirty in the West, and Industrial and probably radioactive in the East.
Whatever you do, don't go to Jacksonville Florida

Honestly, I'm happy living in the panhandle of Florida. It's quite peaceful here. People are fit and responsible in my community, and when I wake up and take a short stroll outside, I see these sights:

I don't know much about NY or LA, but up here in the upper midwest is really nice. It gets hot as hell in the summer and cold as balls in the winter, so if you don't care about temperature, it's really awesome if you live in a small/medium-sized city like Omaha City or Sioux Falls.

That's more like Salt Lake City.
MORMONS. MORMONS EVERYWHERE.
Michigan here. It's pretty... uh, boring. Everyone generally does their own thing, lots of apathy. It's not bad, it's just not anything exceptional.
While a lot of people say that going down south is a bad idea, you have to consider that due to the fact we have so little people we get things a lot cheaper. Something that could cost 700k in California costs like 130k in Oklahoma.
I never said going down south was bad I'm from there too. Regardless of where you go you'll run into both good people and idiots. That doesn't just apply here in the US that's world wide. Anyways for that guy saying it's illegal to pump your own gas... what the fuck are you talking about.
For those guys who want to go to the states don't just listen to what others say. See it as an experience and an opportunity to go somewhere new.
Don't go there, I heard people die there.

I'm saying that New Jersey is the bizzaro state and should not be taken as representative of the United States.

Anyhow, you shouldn't do your IB in the States.
Instead, you should go study abroad in America with your university, and possibly transfer in one of the later years. University in America is ridiculously expensive.
[QUOTE=hobblinharry;33430872]
Anyway, school systems in America very greatly not only by state, but by city as well. The county I live in has the worst education system in the state of Georgia and the state of Georgia is (or was at the time) the second worst state in terms of education system (the worst having been South Carolina, our neighbors). So yea, there are probably a lot of great schools in our country but I don't know about them. What I learned in high school was how to cheat and get away with it and how to bullshit your way through everything.[/QUOTE]
I'm also from Georgia, and am now wondering which county you're from? I live in Atlanta, and have had an exceptional experience here.
America is a hugely diverse country and to attempt to generalize it to any particular way of life is quite silly. Life in the Southwest, for example, is fundamentally different from life in the Mid-West. There is no single American culture; our culture is best defined as the end-result of clashing a hundred subcultures, and subcultures of subcultures, together in a hundred unique fashions. Life in the suburban Mid-West is fundamentally different from life in the Southwest, or the West, or the North, or the East, or the Southeast, or the Northeast. Even culture within each county of each state can be vastly different from that of its neighbors.
America is very, very big. No matter your cultural tastes, you can find a home in it. I, for one, found the Southwest, in rural Arizona, to be the most comfortable of all the places I've lived. The arid deserts and mountain ranges were absolutely beautiful, and looking out the window each day was simply serene. Things moved at a more relaxed pace, as if nobody felt any need to rush, and that sense of "Southern hospitality" proved true many times. There were clashes with unsavory elements every now and then, some disconnected rancher with awkward ethnocentric ideologies, but the general culture and climate proved so damn comfortable that I would be happy to move back on a more permanent basis. In fact, I'm looking to attend University out that way, once I've secured my associate's degree from my community college.
