LaCrosse is a great place to visit in a beautiful part of the state.  \nThere is a lot to do there, but without knowing what you like to do, the best advice I can give you is to go to the State of Wisconsin Tourism site and look around.\nThere is a search section where you can choose what kinds of things you'd like information on and you can even narrow it down to things that are available on the dates you'll be in LaCrosse.  The link is:\nhttp://www.travelwisconsin.com/thingstodo/recreationandattractions.htm\nHave a great trip!

Yep, I'll speculate, they are giving us shit gas. I'ts 2.65 in Wisconsin and only goes half the distance in my car too. There are places where gas isn't treated here, but now are great goverment wants to poison gas across the state. One way of not raising the taxes elsewhere, just buy twice as much gas. Use 2x's the amount-get2x's the tax.

Now. \n\n2 weeks notice is a formality, NOT a requirement. If the environment is as bad as you say it is, say goodbye ASAP.

the thing you have to take in consideration before jumping on a plane to NY is that you are from the south which is known for manners and southern hospitality. NY is fast paced and people there are waay different. Rude if you ask me. i dont mean to offend anybody but when i was in Jersey i was really intimidated by how upfront they were . If you have a strong backbone, go for it. but for me i know i could never make it in a place like that.

Well, I live in Madison, Wisconsin and we have great air.  All that Chicago wind stays well south.\nLow to no crime, one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation, voted in the top ten places to raise a family (so you know it's socially clean), arts, events, resteraunts, and all the things you would expect to find in a modern midwestern town.  Population about 190,000, but very small town feel due to strict laws about urban sprawl.  Fishing too. World class fishing.

Madison was created in 1836 when a former federal judge named James Duane Doty purchased over a thousand acres (4 km²) of swamp and forest land surrounding lakes Mendota, Monona, Kegonsa, and Waubesa, then known as the Four Lakes region, with the intention of building a new city on the site. Wisconsin Territory had been created earlier in the year, and the territorial legislature had convened in Belmont, Wisconsin. One of the legislature's tasks was to choose a permanent location for the territory's capital city. James Duane Doty lobbied aggressively for the legislature to select Madison as the new capital, offering buffalo robes to the freezing legislators and promising choice Madison lots at discount prices to undecided voters. He had James Slaughter plat two cities in the area, Madison and "The City of Four Lakes", near present-day Middleton. Despite the fact that Madison was still only a city on paper, the territorial legislature voted on November 28 in favor of choosing Madison for its capital largely because of its location halfway between the new and growing cities around Milwaukee in the east and the long established strategic post of Prairie du Chien in the west, and because of its location between the highly populated lead mining regions in the southwest and Wisconsin's oldest city, Green Bay in the northeast. Being named for a much-admired founding father who had just passed away, and having streets named after every founding father, also helped attract votes.\n\nThe cornerstone for the Wisconsin capitol building was laid in 1837, and the legislature first met there in 1838. Madison was incorporated as a village in 1846, with a population of 626. When Wisconsin became a state in 1848, Madison remained the capital city, and it became host to the University of Wisconsin. The Milwaukee & Mississippi Railroad (a predecessor of what would become known as the Milwaukee Road) connected to Madison in 1854. Madison became a city in 1856, with a population of 6,863.

Do you mean Wisconsin or Washington. Sorry, I looked up Spokane WI but all that came up on the search engine was Washington. If it's WA in most cities like that try downtown near a college campus. If it's WI go to a nearby city and check there downtown Please email me castaspella0183@yahoo.com and let me if this helps.

wow! That's terrific. I will add what I know, but I'm sure others will have more info for you.\n\nFirst, your program coordinator is going to have the practical info for you. S/He will be able to tell you about visas, passports, insurance, lodging, and the like. As to groceries, I would suggest an intensive internet search of the area(s) you'll be in. My daughter is going to Europe for 13 days next summer and we started with just googling the cities she'll be in. We also googled some of the cultural aspects, things like local slang and local food. Next we hit the city library for background on the cities. \n\nItaly is a unique place, and not always a comfortable place for American women. I would talk specifically to American women who have visited and/or lived in Italy. Your college is a great place to find those, and also the internet.\n\nI would suggest, just as a practical piece of advice, get a solid grasp on the local lingo and the money. Those two things will take a lot of time to master and you could use that time better there than figuring all that out. So master those things while you're still here.\n\nGood luck and I hope you have a terrific year!

Pretty much everything south of the white mountains is pricey now. Maybe try the Monadnock area (Ringe, Jaffrey, etc). Some deals can still be found near Winnipesaukee on the north side (Ashland, Bridgewater, Plymouth, Bristol, Alexandria, Tamworth, Holderness, etc). As is typically the case in vacation areas, the further away from the lake, the more reasonable the price. One thing you may want to keep in mind is the distance to services. Do you mind driving a 1/2 hour to go grocery shopping? I don't but it turns some people off. How close is the nearest hospital? How are the property taxes? That last one is usually a big issue here in NH.

Depends on where you will be. Ohio is actually very nice. I have been to the Columbus area a few times. You would be surprised at how many large corporations have headquarters there.
