<p>Hahaha yeah, it's a little different than Missouri. </p>
<p>Honestly, I was in Texas a few years ago (which also has a huge Mexican population, but apparently not where I was) and I was totally not used to the service people speaking English. Just because I'm used to going through a drive through and being greeted in any number of totally non-english languages and then having to spend 10 minutes making sure they understood my order. It's different.</p>
<p>miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiighty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your right this website is useful mate!</p>
<p>and in reply to allies post, what do you mean they are vastly different???? this university lark is "bloody" hard going! (thought i'd drop in some good ol' english slang...although no one uses it anymore)</p>
<p>We use bloody here. But only when we really want to get a point across. Or something. </p>
<p>And they really just are different. LA and Berkeley are situated in big cities and have a lot more going on. Riverside is situated in what I lovingly refer to as the Land of the Mud People. Lots of dirt, lots of smog, but not a whole hell of a lot more. And Santa Cruz is just it's own little world. Much more rural and environmentally focused that the other schools. Also in a smallish town. </p>
<p>California is a really, really big place. Lots of options.</p>
<p>most bars don't card</p>
<p>Totally disagree, Drew. </p>
<p>Maybe not in Michigan? But I get carded EVERYWHERE. Always. Always always always. And I'm not particularly young looking or whatever. Just procedure.</p>
<p>I can't believe they're so leniant in England!!! I've heard some stories about 14 year olds getting drunk!</p>
<p>looks like im goin on the LAX then allie! im going going back back to cali cali!</p>
<p>(knowing my luck i'll get a place in the deep south, eating racoons and singing songs with a banjo)</p>
<p>i first got wasted when i was 12! but that was a one off!</p>
<p>the rest of europe is worse, theres no age limit in spain etc! well there is but no one takes notice!</p>
<p>what uni you going to mighty? i'll know to stay away hahaha ;)</p>
<p>Haha. Nah there's plenty of urbanization in the South. It's not 1850. </p>
<p>It's just not necessarily anywhere I'd want to be (weather related, mostly).</p>
<p>nah im only joking! some of the south seems cool!</p>
<p>but im really more interested in places like california and newyork etc becuase theres so much to do and i have heard so much about it!
is there a university of compton or Harlem? i'd love to check them out hahah</p>
<p>i'm going to Penn State. Its a big big party school...just ask allie..i'm sure she knows.</p>
<p>New york is a pretty awesome place too. I wanted to go there for uni (NYU Stern..but i didn't get in).</p>
<p>University of Compton? No. But there's one fairly close to it. Cal State Dominguez Hills.</p>
<p>Also pretty sure that one of the good NY universities is located somewhere close to Harlem. </p>
<p>But really, yeah. I think California, New York, and the like are good options. </p>
<p>It just depends on what schools are a part of your program.</p>
<p>whats penn state like then???</p>
<p>one of my mates goes there and he says its pretty cool! it would be cool to hook up with him again actually</p>
<p>Cold.</p>
<p>But I suppose you're used to that.</p>
<p>hey! englands not that cold!!!! we have been having 30 degree C weather for the best part of a month already :P</p>
<p>is it cool socially?</p>
<p>yeah penn state gets pretty cold in the winter.</p>
<p>hook up with your guy friend? omg.</p>
<p>hahahahha why do naive white europeans always want to come to south central and compton? it's really not as cool as you think.</p>
<p>mighty, i dont mean "hook up" i mean hook up socially you perverted little b*astard hahahaha</p>
<p>and nameste or whatever, i am only joking around! i was playing on the stereotype that compton/harlem was a dangerous place filled with N.W.A hahahaha dont get so aggresive about it my little friend!</p>
<p>phew! i knew you weren't that type.</p>
<p>anyways, back on topic...the coasts are the best places to live and "hook up" socially. the mid-west and south are quite dull.</p>
<p>You arent a scouser are you?</p>
