Worst is Nebraska.  I could write a book on that one on why it is the worst.  Best is Oklahoma or Arkansas.

ive lived in melbourne, philadelphia, NYC, atlanta, Aspen, and currently live in Dallas.\n\nHated NYC when i first moved there WAY too much going on, but after a while you get used to it. the thing is, being from the suburbs, you get used to your comfort zone. you, your yard, your house, your car... etc. in big cities you have to encounter people... unfortunately a lot of people are selfish  unknowingly... but you notice it... the thing is all big cities have good and bad. all have just as much good and bad... the problem is, bad is usually in your face more.\n\nno matter how big a city is, you eventually find your own niche... i say you start feeling comfortable at 6 months, and by 2 years, you are completely in your element... just go ino it knowing that the first 6 months will most likely stink... read books.. explore on your own.. the first thing i do whenever i move somewhere new is either walk or drive and get completely lost... its a great way of getting a feel for a place... and clearing your head..\n\naustin is awesome, but if you are looking for somewhere where you can be in more of a comfort zone ft. worth is a driiving city with a nice downtown and great parks.. dont go to church myself but the people who i know that do are super friendly...\n\njust don't let a few rude people blind you to all the great people out there, because there are tons of them.\n\ncheers

Living in a dorm all the way.\n\nIt is important to learn the skills of living on your own before you are completely thrust out to live on your own. People grow up faster in my experience if they have to live in the dorms. Plus that way there is no commute and you have quick access to all the educational and social resources. Be careful about spending too much time with friends and making poor decisions. Those can come back to bite you without your parents looking over your shoulder. Act like a responsible adult and you should be fine.

ill say th eunited states of america.. im from the philippines but ive been to the states thrice and i would really say that it's best to live there because it's clean and you have a lot of job opportunities and you can make much money.. but if you like to stay in a country with friendly people, nice neighborhood.. you should stay in the philippines.. christmas here is better than the US because we have gift giving and food giving to the neighbors..

I would choose to live in the northern part of the U.S.  I would enjoy living either in one of the New England states, or possibly Minnesota. I just know that I want to live somewhere with a much cooler climate than where I have lived all my life.  I hate heat and humidity, and love autumn and winter.  I can always put more blankets or a heavier coat on in winter to get warm, but in heat, I am just plain miserable unless i'm in air conditioning all the time.  I do however like growing beautiful flowers, and some things that go along with warm weather, so wouldn't mind having some warm days...just not excessive heat.  I also love rain, so that wouldn't be a problem, unless it's raining so excessively as to cause flooding.  I love woods and nature, so would prefer living somewhere with lots of trees.  I think beaches are beautiful, but since I'm not really a sun-worshiper anymore, I don't particularly need to live near one all the time.  I prefer smaller towns, since that is the type of town I currently live, and was raised in, but would love living close enough to a large city, to be able to frequently enjoy the arts, and other things that only a big city can offer, if I want to.  \n\nMy dream vacation within the U.S., has always been to rent a secluded cabin, deep in the woods of New England (Vermont, New Hampshire), for at least 2 weeks.  This cabin will have a huge fireplace inside, plenty of stocked food to eat (so that I don't have to go grocery shopping but one time), plenty of wine to drink, a plush, comfy bed to sleep in, lots of good books to read, no telephones, and snow coming down all around. A vacation like this, would be pure bliss to me!!  :)

I would say Canada, I live in NY but I am a frequent visitor to Canada and not only is it cleaner, I love the friendly atmosphere it lends, and how beautiful it is.  The top reason I would say that it is a better place to live is because of the health care.

I grew up in Detroit which is pretty damn crazy.  I've experienced a lot of bad things - people getting beat with bats, friends  getting killed, friends being robbed.  It definitely does not desensitize me. It makes me scared to go back to the inner part of Detroit since i've moved out to the suburbs.

If you are serious about finding a new place to live in the US, try this popular tool from CNN. http://money.cnn.com/best/bplive/\n\nYou can search cities based on qualities like: crime rate, weather and school quality.\n\nGood luck.

What are your criteria for a great place to live?  What are you likes and dislikes?  Your preferences and the parts of everyday life that irritate you?\n\nPrague is a beautiful, vibrant city, but it has its share of gloomy days and even some snow in winter.\n\nRio de Janeiro is picture perfect from a distance, and in parts can handle a close up by Cecil B. DeMille.  But there's lots of petty crime.  Do you want to spend your whole life worrying about your car?\n\nFlorence is jam packed with culture and history, but also jam packed with tourists in the summer.\n\nFiji may be paradise, but paradise comes with lots of mosquitos.\n\nSo, there's always a trade-off.

Good area/cheap and nice to live in London? hmm, anywhere outside of London really. You probably wanna be outside of Greater London as well.

No doubt some places r more "opinionated" than others but that's life.  Don't live there if you don't like it.

The best thing: the world around me and learning about it little by little every second.\n\nThe worst is the torture in life I struggle around to last in every day...Living is the pain that causes me to think over if I did what was right to be born...
