[quote=Anonymous][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.

The Midwest is a large region, and it’s not all like this.

Try Chicago or Minneapolis or Milwaukee—but at all like what you describe. Lots of diversity. Lots of well educated people and plenty of ppl who are worldly and enjoy traveling.[/quote]
