I am planning to transfer to another college in the inland area. and I want to ask you about environment of there.
I used the college board web-site to choose a college and got some results. When I searched it, my priorities were tuition and the size of school. In result, most of the schools are in テキサス&カンザス.
I want to ask people who are there about some stuff.
* How many Japanese do you see in your area? * Tell me the name of the city that you live in. * How is the environment there? (I'm worried about hurricane and peace) * What kind of food can you get in the local shop??
If my poor English couldn't make you understand, tell me. I will ask my friends to let me use her computer. I am asking the same question to other communities. If you felt bad, tell me, please.
Sorry about my personal talk in this topic. Thanks.
Thank you for your reply.
I don't have internet connection in my house, so I cannot type in Japanese at my house and school.
Austin!! No trouble is a very good element!! Is it a large city?? I think I found a Austin community. In my place,which is a rural area in WA, there are over 100 Japanese students. We have no trouble here, but too many Japanese!! I don't want to be away from my friends here for just my study. I want to be the environment like less than 10-Japanese. How about your place??
It's Mixi's Austin community.
On the top pege, it has a SITE of Austin, also the members of this community are not Japanese, I guess.
So, you may write some thing on it's topic.
The college that I,ve been, we had 3 Japanese.(^^)
In Austin, we have about five university& colleges.
University of Texas(UT) is most well-known.
i'm from houston and i went to college in austin. and both are great cities. houston's (obviously) bigger so it has more choices in shops, ex. asian food market, restaurants. and there's a lot of japanese people, although it's unlikely you'll run into them. they're usually in a close knit circle within colleges and institutions it seems like. when i lived in austin, i didn't see many japanese people. but im sure there are some, taking classes from UT or ACC. UT is a great school. the campus is HUGE so u might get lost at first, but it's got a lot of activities and classes u can take. i dont know if ur looking for a place with lots of japanese people or not, but you will find some, no matter where u go in the states. so dont worry! and there are plenty of shops everywhere and the cities are safe, as long as u dont go downtown in the middle of the night. hehe. good luck with city searching!
University of Texas at Dallasという、DallasのDowntownより車で20分ほどのRichardsonという街にある大学通っています!
日本人がいない環境をお探しならうちの大学おすすめですよ!うわさではUndergrad、Grad合わせて20人ぐらいいるとの噂ですが(本当かどうかは謎...)、ちっとも繋がる経路がないため、私は2人しか日本人の知り合いがいないです。その二人とも、滅多に会う機会がないため、ほぼ日本語は話さない生活をしています。
車で10分ほど行けば、Chinese Marketやとても小さなものでしたら、日本のスーパーもありますし、学校内でもお寿司をうってるので日本食に困ることはまずないと思いますよ!
治安も、8月からこの学校に通っていますが、今のところ問題ないですし、学費も他の学校と比べると少し安い(?)方だと思うので、よかったら参考にしてみてください^^

UTいいと思いますよ!特にUndergradだと、大きい学校に行った方が、いろいろ経験もできるとおもうし、取れる授業の幅も広がると思いますよ^^
私が今住んでいるところは一応Dallas Countyの中なので(ってあまり関係ないですが)、気候は変わらないですよ!
「春夏夏夏夏秋冬冬」ってかんじです!冬でも30℃近くになることもあります。それと、気温の変化が激しいです!おととい80℃(25度ちょっとぐらい?)まであがったのに、今日の最高気温は0℃です!風邪をひかないのが不思議なぐらいです。
EL Centro CollegeとRichland Collegeがどこにあるかわからないですけど、Dallasは結構住みやすい街だと思いますよ!なんてゆう街にあるんですか?Richlandはもしかしたら、ルームメイトが冬セメ&夏セメ取ってたところかもしれないです!なんてゆう街にあるかわかりますか?聞いてみときますね^^

ありがとうございます! 気温の変化、すごいですね!! そんな気温の変化にも負けないくらいAKIYOさんって健康なんでしょうね(笑)
EL Centro Collegeは801 MAIN ST Dallas
Richland Collegeは12800 ABRAMS RD DALLAS
でどちらもダラスの町の中にあるみたいです。
どちらも町なかにあるみたいなんです。
suburbanの方で勉強したいなぁって思ってるので少し怖いです´`
