Thinking of Moving to the States!?

Do you have any idea how hard it is to immigrate to the uUS.? Just as hard ( if not harder) as it is for U.S. citizens to immigrate to the U.K. If you donot have immediate family members here, you need to apply through the diversity lottery program...and this takes YEARS. This year they will have registration for the 2010 lottery...then one of every 60 applicants is accepted to be allowed to apply to immigrate....whole process takes more than 8 years. Even getting a visa to work and reside in the U.S. for a period of time is very difficult...this is just reality. You need to research these things before deciding on what state to live in. If you are interested in applying for a student visa, you can get that info at the site below also. This is actually the most practical way to get to spend a yr. or more in the U.S. and get to know it better. You must show you can pay all exoenses and support yourself while here on a student visa. you are allowed to work no more than 20hrs a week ON CAMPUS as a foreign student.

Q cubed

If you have a British accent and don't smell, you will be very popular with the ladies.

if you have a proper english accent, you should have no problem getting girls.

Well Good morng to you

When you come here just be yourself, take it one step at the time . It depends for you what you want to be after you're finnished here with College.And that pretty much will determine whe you will; settle. I came here from Germany in ,91 and it took me a year to get aclimatised here .

You're young and I wish you luck and success.

We love the English!

Englishmen are admired in some areas, thought of as snooty in others. You'd probably do well in California of the Northeast, but the South probably wouldn't be your cup of tea.

Post-graduate training would suit you here. You'd be in a large city and would get along quite nicely.

Ummm...we like englishmen as far as I know. LA is pretty liberal so if you're "different" from typical "American" standards of what is normal you'll find no better place to be accepted. I've lived in Pennsylvania, Mississippi, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, and Illinois and I've liked each one of them. If you like warm weather and partying and diversity then Florida and California are good. If you like laid back type of places Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, Colorado and states of that sort are good. If you like tight knit communities New England, New York (not NYC), Pennsylvania are good. And cities are good life you like fast pace life.

srsly?

English people usually come across as intelligent because of their accents and language skills.

I've lived in DC/Virginia (20 years) - it was unfriendly but beautiful and great job opportunities, great museums, gorgeous downtown, great schools. ((Sometimes expensive!))

I've lived in Florida (1yr) - boring to me.

I've lived in Texas (10yrs) - very friendly but not much going on in Dallas area.

I go to LA twice a month. It's dirty and expensive (unless you have several million to live near the beach) but my I have friends in the film industry and I am guessing I will live at least near LA eventually. My son will likely attend UCSC (Santa Cruz).

I was born in St. Louis, Missouri (1 yr). That is a beautiful lush place, very underrated, lots of culture and beautiful architecture.

Each of those places has a good diverse population accept Florida.

If I were you, I would first find a school with a good curriculum for your field of study.

Cheers! And here's to Earl Grey!

LOL
Good Luck!!!!!

haha. Well, Americans will be opinionated one way or another no matter where you come from, so really just be yourself. Also if you stick with that British accent, you will get a lot of attention!

I suggest moving to a scenic place that fits your life style because other wise you will feel trapped in a box. Maybe some low profile (not that famous or crowded) place where you can go to parties and all that, but be able to relax with ease.

This might be faraway from family, but since you're looking at grad school, a good example of a place like that could be Charlottesville, Virginia on the east coast. That way you can go to the University of Virginia while staying in a good location. Problem solved! Oh and beware, girls will love your accent!

Good luck

p.s. We all have those nights where we find ourselves up late on our computer breaking out a cup of tea...well, maybe not tea!
