1) Your English is fine. If you never shared you weren't a native English speaker, I doubt anyone would have guessed. 2) Americans, with the exception of a few jerks, are relatively nice to foreigners. Your accent will also probably get you bonus points with the ladies. 3) Not so much Canada, but with a few exceptions America sucks when it comes to public transportation. Prepared to be disappointed. If you live in a city, you'll have the opportunity to try so many different types of foods from different cultures, your mind might be blown by it. Prepared to be wowed. Some cities have better scenes than others when it comes to art, music, food, etc., but since you're in college your classmates will probably be able to steer you to some pretty nifty places. America is very big, and while there is an underlying culture, different regions and different groups of people will have their own subcultures. If you ever have trouble navigating a social situation, just play the foreign card and more often than not, that almost immediately smooths things over. America kicks ass. If you do decide to visit, you'll more than likely enjoy yourself here. Off Topic Edit: You start your game campaign? How's it going?
Thank you! I don't have the slightest clue where I might end-up regarding student exchange options, but I think that my university has some ties with University of California, Princeton and University of Chicago in particular, University of Toronto in case of Canada. All of these seem to have great maths and physics programmes from what I gather. If that helps with specifying anything regarding my questions, I'm all ears. Although it's a bit of a shame that public transportation is lacking. That's my primary way to getting anywhere here, aside of walking. Since car is out of the question, how can I remedy that? Regarding my campaign, it's a bit slow. Problem with having a group of five science majors lies in the fact that they really pulled their weight with helping me balance some of the mechanical stuff, but we hardly got into the story as of yet :D. Sorry for no updating by the way, I still have a habit of writing primarily in my notebooks while rarely having the will to type it up into computer. However! I think that majority of my background notes are just about done and I'm fairly deep into the races, each should have something close to 4-6 pages for themselves with culture, psychology etc.
Oh, I don't know much about what colleges or cities are better or worse, so I'd take other people'so advice on that. As for public transport? It depends on the city, New York has subways, smaller cities usually have busses and such. If you're gonna be on a campus though, there's usually a small economy of restaurants, shops, and other services within walking distance. For stuff that's further out, a friend with a car can drive you. Your campaign sounds like it's coming along great. I look forward to the next update cause I'm excited to see what you've done with the races.
