<p>i cant really relate or judge because ive lived in california since birth. plus your experience is what you make of things. it can be some really good or some really terrible years depending on how involved you decide to be, no matter where you’re from</p>

<p>Your stats look great.</p>

<p>Make sure you speak English well. It will help you a lot socially.</p>

<p>That’s my only advice.</p>
