My house has been broken into three times and twice we've had drug dealers living in the house across the street from us... That's only one house in our neighborhood. Besides me feeling bad for my mom being stuck here I see absolutely no reason to stay here. I've been to several other states and even to China and can easily say there are many other places that have just generally been better places to live. I hope to leave as soon as possible move to a city and get a job in traveling...

I left my home in Sacramento, CA where I grew up and have since lived in Silver Springs, MD, Spokane, WA and am currently in England. When I was younger, all I wanted to do was get away and explore something new! I thought I would move to England and never look back!! I got caught up in the romanticism of living in a foreign country, in a big city. Now, all I want to do is get back and live near my family and in the warm, wonderful California sunshine, but I worry about finding a job, the cost of living and finding new friends again. I really do miss my family though. Take the time to see what is out there. An exchange program to England is a great idea; it will give you a taste of this interesting country. But, be open to different places and don't feel embarrassed if you find out a place wasn't all that you thought it would be! Oh, and you are only a freshman, so take a deep breath and just enjoy where you are right now!! Hi Luke,

New York City, London, Toronto, San Fransisco... There are too many places and no way of deciding without visiting each one. I'm trying to get involved in a foreign exchange plan to England just to get out of the hellhole ghetto I live in known as St. Pete Florida. This place has completely drained me of all charisma and optimism. I never feel happy and can't stand the thought of going through college here. I can think nothing more of leaving and living a successful happy life. I'm only a freshman in highschool but I'm already freaking out about where I want to live…

Although SF did have lots of choices to offer (countless restaurants and shops,etc), the place that I really like to call home is Madison, Wisconsin. It is really one of the best place to live in the US. :-) I moved to US from Jakarta, Indonesia and I lived in Madison for 4 years and then in SF Bay Area for 5 years.
