<p>Florida is cool.I was born and raised in florida and have lived all over.SoFl is def. Filled with a lot of hispanics,so learn your spanish lol.the west coast is mostly new yorkers but there is a good deal of californians.NoFl is kind of country but it's not too bad depending on where you go. Oh and watch out when it rains because people can not drive in the rain in florida lol.</p>
<p>As far as colleges, UF is in gainsville and its a college town.UF is basically thee only thing there.don't get me wrong, UF is a great school.but the surrounding area is small townish. UCF is seperated from the crazy orlando attractions so traffic isn't that bad.the area is close to a lot of things.If you can get accepted to UF,personally, I would go to uf.</p>
<p>I'm from the Tucson area. I just graduated from HS this year, but at the beginning of my college search, when my parents asked me "what are some of your guidelines for choosing a college," I answered with an immediate "NOT BEING IN ARIZONA!"</p>
<p>I'm not saying I hate AZ. AZ is a wonderful state, with Tucson, Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Sedona being very fun places to live. I just get tired of the weather. I enjoy hot weather, but not year round. I prefer variety. I was really frustrated when I was walking across my HS campus to get to meet a college rep in 90 degree weather. And this was in mid November people.</p>
<p>Usually, Dec-Mar is fantastic, with weather being in the 60s-80s, some cloudy days here and there, but sunny in general. But otherwise, be prepared for 90+ degree weather, constantly clear skies (no occasional cloud shade for you), and dry heat. Dry heat is much better than a humid heat, but it can almost hurt to breathe in August when you're inhaling 110+ degree dry air.</p>
<p>U of A is an awesome school tho, with lots going on on campus and off. And one good thing about Tucson AZ is that you get to wear sandals year round. </p>
<p>But yeah, the heat is too intense for me. I'm headed to the pacific NW for college.</p>
<p>Well Austin is pretty awesome, it unfortunately is liberal, but the burbs around are suppossed to be conservative. But really i mean it doesn't matter ppl are not going to attack and yell at you while you walk down the street. But one thing about Austin and UT, are hobos, there are alot and they are aggressive.</p>
<p>I've lived in Dallas Tx for 11 years. It's a pretty calm place to live, rather routine (I live in the outskirts). Standard of living is pretty good (middle-class). Houses are huge. Actually everything is huge. People are either really heavy or really skinny, but they're mostly warm and friendly. Just stay away from downtown. Oh yeah a negative is the extreme weather. It gets over 100 degrees in the summer (though I heard Arizona is worse) and can get really cold in the winter (which may not actually be that cold b/c I'm used to the heat).</p>
<p>Job Market wise Houston , Dallas, or Austin are great cities for engineers especially Houston and Austin due to the wide array of top corporations (Exxon, Shell, AMD, Intel, IBM, Dell, Sanderson Farms). San Antonio is , in my opinion, an alright city. Theirs a prominent amount of Hispanics in San Antonio and most people say the weather down there is really hot/warm. Sea World is also in San Antonio! I live north of Dallas and i love it. My city is rapidly growing and the school system is pretty nice.</p>
