The plant is situated near Petersburg in Virinia, however we will probably be living in Chesterfield since weve heard some pretty dodgy stuff about Richmond and Petersburg (Does anyone come from this area and can you tell me what the area is like). I have just turned 17 last week and have just left school about 5 weeks ago in England but ive heard that you go to school for an extra year in America, is this true? So, thats about it, anyone got any comments/advice.  | ||

If you did then I doubt you'd have to go to school here. You can probably just apply for college/university based off of that Otherwise I got no idea. Maybe you'll just have to enroll in a public school for a year and graduate there. This type of stuff surely has happened before. Best of luck. | ||

On a serious note, the transition from England to USA shouldn't be too bad, I don't know much about moving countries, much less moving across the ocean, but I'm sure you will adjust fairly easily, good luck my nigga. | ||

Yeah, I was used to using that word in jest and complete unracistly for a long time, and when I moved to michigan some poeple would flinch when I said it, and one person started hating me for having said it a few times in front of him =O | ||

I wouldnt spend 4 years in Chicago but it was just an example. I WOULD spend 4 years in NY, though. Or LA or Miami or something. I'm just saying, consider big cities! From Cali to NY, we have some awesome cities to spend time in. | ||

I think what you are describing goes on in most Western Countries. | ||

Even motherfuckin Taiwan, which is the size of rhode island and is mostly Taipei and Gao xiong, has a lot of rural space. Really, your experience in America will vary greatly depending on where you are at the state, county, city, and even subdivision level. My high school was 40% asian and 60% hispanic, most people weren't racist and most people didn't do anything harder than weed. 5 miles away from my high school its 100% hispanic and all gangs and ghetto. So OP, make sure you plunk yourself down in a nice place if you're going to college. Personally I've lived on the west coast, north east, and deep south and each area has its nice aspects and each region has nice schools. /And yes, take advantage of your British accent, it WILL get you a lot of tail. | ||

Sorry you go to a crappy school, maybe that also explains why they haven't covered the material on 'stereotypes being wrong/dumb.' | ||

But you're 17 anyways, so pick your university and have fun. There are tons of exchange students everywhere so it won't be a big deal. | ||

You just happened to go to a terrible one. America is a very very nice place. In general, people are friendly and good-intentioned. | ||

I haven't heard anything dodgy about the Richmond area, but I'm a few hours from there. ah i hope you dont enjoy driving fast...because virginia will destroy you for that...i hate virginia speeding laws...T.T I hear the system of figuring out ticket fines is pretty terrible, too. Site is a piece of crap. Maryland does a lot of patrolling, too, though. Guaranteed to see someone pulled over at least once a day to/from work. Although that has probably more to do with the speed limit being lower than it ought to be for the area, imo. Iono, I can't think of much to say about the VA/MD area. | ||
