BRAZILIAN STUDENT MOVING TO THE USA - WHICH CITY TO CHOOSE?
Okay, I'd love to live in New York City. But people keep talking about how cold it is and that I wouldnt like, because in the city I live in Brazil it is pretty hot. The second choice would be Miami, which have pretty much the same climate as Salvador in Brazil, but is NO NEW YORK. I just wanted to live in the top city of the world, where everything happens, dont know tho if I could really face the cold.

Fica em São Paulo mesmo que não é muito frio, é uma cidade topo do mundo onde tudo acontece e vai lá só visiar os USA.

Miami is very much like South America, a lot of hispanics and a lot of Brazilians. You don't need to speak english there. The big cities are nice but, very expensive! I would go to AUSTIN TX, it's college town, a lot of young people and students like you, lots of parties, but the biggest attraction in Austin are the 2 big lakes (lake Travis and Lake LBJ) lots of beaches and parties... and it doen't get cold. Economy is growing, it's not facing challenges from the current crises like California, Florida and NY etc... It's a great place to live if you don't like cold. South of Austin you can go white water rafting, and there also the biggest outlet mall in TX. San Antonio is just 45 Min away and there's a lot to do there. LA is nice, but California and also Florida are VERY expensive! And they have a lot o problems right now because of the economic crises.

I think movies and television make NYC out to be far more glamorous than it really is. Not everything happens in New York - what is it that you're really looking for? If you want to be 'where everything happens' that's not freezing cold, go to Los Angeles. It's a far more international and busy city than Miami. Both LA and Miami are sprawling car-centric cities though. If the thing you find appealing about NYC is the super-urban cosmopolitan lifestyle - go to San Francisco. It's a similar lifestyle, but the weather is 10 times better, the people are younger, and the attitude is more laid back. If you're going to study, you might consider Boston. Yeah it's freezing cold, but it's kind of like a mini New York filled with college students. It's far cheaper to live there. NYC is a 3 hour bus ride from there, easy to take weekend trips.

Your primary concern will be getting a visa. You cannot just "move' to the u.S. If you want to attend university in the U.S., you must apply and get accepted, then apply for a student visa. then you may come, attend your university and work up to 20 hours a week on campus only. WHERE you live would depend on what university you re accepted to. You will need to be able to prove you have enough only to support yourself and pay your tuition. So, first, see site below and learn about the student visa requirements.

If you are rich, I would say Chicago or Boston. If you are middle-class, I would say Orlando If you don't have money, go to whatever small town will take you in.
