There's not much in my life at the moment, mainly self-study, doing my various little projects and piano training. However I was asked by my 'attending professor'[1] one question and I figure that I might as well get some feedback from you here.

Question is: Would I want to go abroad and study in USA or Canada as an exchange student?

At the moment I'm on the fence about it. Aside of stuff like "what university should I pick" (I'll be given a list in a few days), I have some concerns:

1. Do you think that my English is good enough?

2. How are Poles treated in these countries? (I've got seriously burned by all of my visits to England and I would rather not spend six months going for a German accent just so people would bugger off.)

3. Do you feel there is something in particular which I should know about or prepare myself? My knowledge of both of US and Canada is meagre at best, news don't help much. Although I know that USA is not only about gun violence, tornadoes, election and football… believe me, sometimes it's hard to remember.[2]

Thanks in advance!

I'm well aware about my lack of information, that's why I'm asking questions. I simply can't phrase it better.
