I finished high school last year and this year I'm not really doing anything. I didn't start college yet because I didn't really know what to choose. My parents freak out because I do nothing (don't have a job). So they give me the opportunity to go somewhere with Education First (www.ef.com). It's an organisation for international education. I'd love to do this so I'm coming to the states for 3 months (in January) to go to one of their international language schools. I'm going to have 26 classes of 40mins/week..most of the classes are english but I get to choose some classes myself too. The problem I have is that I don't know where to go. They have schools all over the USA. Most of those schools/residences aren't on a campus. When I'm in the states I really want to make American friends and get to hang out with them. It would be nice to meet some like-minded people who have the same recreational habits (pot/acid/mdma...). I also wanna party when I'm there ..maybe go to a dark psy or a breakcore/hardcore party (like I do here in Belgium ). What do you people think..should I pick a school that's part of a campus? I think I'll have a better experience when I can be on a campus. At the other schools that aren't on a campus I'll mostly just hang around with the other international students..and don't get to know much American ppl. I have to choose the destination asap as I'm going to leave at the start of January. I'd like to go to California (SF)..I actually already decided I wanted to go to SF (school/residence that's on the campus of mills college)..but I can't go there ..it's full in february. I wanna go to California because I've been there once and I really liked it. There's only 1 other destination in California that's also on a campus..that's San Diego (Alliant int'l univ)..but's that's not really a normal college I guess. Another possibility I have is that I first go 3 weeks to San Diego and then spend the rest of my time at Mills College (SF)...but I think I won't want to leave San Diego after those couple of weeks. You can view the destinations here: (I'm going to link you to the us site because the BE site is in dutch - the locations are a bit different though) http://www.ef.com/master/ils/destinations/...stinations-_-us please note that LA cal luth. and boston aren't possible..and a location that's missing on this list is SF (school in downtown SF). So the choices I have are: SF (downtown) LA (redondo beach) San Diego (campus of alliant int'l university) Santa Barbara Seattle (Evergreen State College campus) NY (marymount college) Miami beach Please help me out..I really don't know where I want to go. Tell me anything you know about any of these locations. I know nothing about Seattle or Miami beach. Tell me something about the campuses..and the social life involved. Should I go for the destination that appeals to me the most or rather go for a school that's on a campus? I think I'll choose for the latter. So it might be seattle or ny or san diego... What do you know about alliant int'l univ..it's not a normal college right? Tell me which schools/regions that are likely to have people who support my recreational habits . It's not that much of a problem for me to drop my recreational habits for a while (I've been abstaining for quite a while now)..but it would be nice to smoke some pot or drop some acid with new friends . Hmm..any advice is appreciated! I have to decide this monday
San Diego is without a doubt the #1 option here. Perfect weather year-round. Plenty of hotties. Choose San Diego, but remember to come back and thank me!
If I had to choose something on the west coast it would definitely be Evergreen State College. I'd stay the hell out of CA.
yay California! dude go to san fran fo sho hella raves here, definetly fully supports your recreational habits and we'll party together
