Making friends in America?

[awayinamerica]

Have you made any friends in America? Do you find that it is easy or difficult to make friends in America? What's the best way to make new friends in America?

It really will depend on where you are. If there aren't many immigrants there, it will be easier to make local friends. If there is a large community from your country, it will be harder, because that tends to isolate you.

Also, some regions are just friendlier than others. I know several people who think it is hard to make friends in New England, for instance.

I agree that people in some parts of the country are slower to accept you if you come from such foreign parts as, say, California or Washington DC.

Actually, that's probably true, usa-pride. Anywhere, in fact. Just go do something you enjoy doing, and the other people there will have something in common with you.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who found New England to be that way!! I thought it was just ME they hated! I met my fiancee there, but he's from Brooklyn himself and he finds Boston very little better than I do. New England doesn't seem to only hate immigrants, they hate "Injuns" too.

I went to Engineering School in Boston, I enjoyed it alot. Please I have more friends in New England than Midwest. From Africa certainly Midwest will chew you and spit you out. Time to get out of here. Hopefully to Boston.

I've talked to students who have come to America on the five-month visa. Many students come from Eastern Europe and work. I've talked to a couple who were waiting tables in Yellowstone National Park. Get into the right restaurant, and you can earn enough in tips to live on for a year.
