[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an immigrant, the only places worth living in the US are the coasts--that's where the worldly people are, especially DC metro area. If you don't care about that then why not move to the Midwest or south for that matter. [/quote]

This x 1,000,000. I'm an immigrant who moved to Midwest from Eastern Europe in high school. We had 6 (SIX!!!!) foreigners in the high school of 1,500 kids and one black person. I know it's changed now, but believe me when I say I ran to the coasts the first chance I got. People were nice, but extremely uneducated and not-worldly. No fashion, no travel, no world curiosity. Everyone is super into sports and kids get pushed into football or cheerleading early on, school hierarchy therefore was football players and cheerleaders first, and everyone else second. I would NEVER move back. I will move back to Eastern Europe first.

What I like about DMV area - speaking another language at home is normal, every school has international night, embassies, cultural festivals, saturday heritage language schools, smart educated people, ability to live without or with a limited use of a car, biking, architecture, multiple airports.
