If you are planning to study in the United
States, you need to consider several factors. Everyone has different opinions
about where is the best place to live in. Also, the best places to live are not
always home to the best schools. Finally, many schools specialize in different
areas of study. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for example, is a
great school for computer science and technology-related fields of study.
However, if you want to study oceanography(海洋學(xué)), your interests may be better served by attending school in a place
that is on a coastline or near the ocean.
Now I am sure that you know which schools
are considered the best in the country. So I will tell you about which states I
believe are the best to live in.
California is a nice state. Northern
California specifically has very good weather. Los Angeles in Southern
California is another story though. Life in Los Angeles is full of excitement
and fast, and sometimes dangerous. As for me, I enjoy the time I spent in
Massachusetts, Virginia and Maryland and these states have a lot of history and
culture. The weather is not as perfect as California, but it is still quite
nice. My favorite area of America is the Mid-west. Middle America, I think, is
home to the true American sense of values. In addition, there are many good
universities there.
Also, you need to think about your likes
and dislikes and then research the various states. You like sunshine and hate
snow? Then you probably won't like the Midwest or even the Northeast. Open
space, nature and peace and quiet? Then you probably should stay away from
America's large cities. Are you interested in government? Then Washington D.C.
is the only place for you. Whatever you decide, put some thought into it. The place
you live could be the difference between a great study-abroad experience and a
state of great suffering on earth.
