<p>I was wondering. When you went out of state to another college, I know you were a bit suprised by the difference. But did you get homesick, a bit of culture shock or do you like your new place waay better than back home?</p>
<p>I'm always amused at the southern accents of some of the people at my college. I have lived in the South before (atlanta), but I guess you just don't get that country accent in the city. It's actually quite refreshing hehe.</p>
<p>I moved from the north to the south so there was a little bit of a culture shock. Food was a little bit different, everyone was using the word y'all but I never really got home sick. For me, it's hard to compare. I enjoyed the area that I grew up in but I find Houston to be a nice city.</p>
<p>I'm from the north and go to college in the south. There was def a noticeable difference. Mainly in how people dressed, and the impact of fraternities on campus...but nothing I couldn't get used to :)</p>
<p>A friend of mine is particularly atheist and moved down here to Alabama (Bible Belt, churches EVERYWHERE, people always in your face about religion) and she was kind of bowled over by "the crazy" at first. Also, she still has a bit of difficulty understanding people with particularly country accents.</p>
<p>Why do different cultures bother you so much?</p>
<p>No one on this thread said different cultures bothered them, they were just speaking of differences. If different cultures bothered them so much, they wouldn't have moved across the country!</p>
<p>I moved down to the south for freshman year of HS, and I definitely had culture shock. The demographics, the way people talked, work ethic, the way people acted, what they cared about all threw me off.</p>
<p>I moved 600 miles away from my hosue for college, definately culture shocked a bit. Liked it at first, then hated it a little bit in, then loved it ever since. You get used to it.</p>
