From the student prespective I thinks Texas is better than others. Big state Big opportunity. From cheap commuity college to world rankin universities like Texas A&M and Rice University.Big Nepali community.Easy to find job.Perfect weather to live. From Mountains of Austin to beaches of Houston, south padre.4th biggest city Houston, beautiful city Austin ,cowboys city Dallas and tourist city San Antonio.Cheap apartments easy to afford car etc.WHAT DO U THINK GUYS???????????????????????????

 Bigrekhoketo, I don't really understand why you keep insisting that Texas has "World Class Universities". Its not like Texas is the hub for Education system. There are quite a few "World Class Universities" in Minnesota,too but to get into those Universities, you need to have a solid GPA, great SAT scores, recommendations etc. So why'd you worry about 'affordability' if you can get into those Universities? I mean, you could go to UCLA, UC-San Diego, UC - Berkeley, Cal Tech, Stanford in California,too. 

I get the gist of what you're saying, though but personally, I really think that if you're an average Nepali student, Minnesota is the best. And by no means I was generalizing when I talked about people working 50-70 hrs. I have at least 30-50 friends who go to schools or live in Texas (who doesn't anyway?) and based on what I've heard, most people work hard, party hard for 2 years and if they managed to maintain a decent GPA, they get to go to UTA under in-state tuition. That's not a bad choice either but then there are plenty who've dropped out of colleges or are still "in process" of transferring to a 4-year college, despite having spent 4 years in community colleges. 

Whether you wanna wear jackets in snowy winter or wear shorts and turn the ac on all summer long is your choice, though. 

@Violet. NYC is one hell of a city. Dare I say its my type of city? I've managed to spend a week in NYC and loved it to bits but I wouldn't wanna live there, ever. 

I have lived all my time in Texas( after I came to the US). I have visited all together 12 states (counted today)  plus DC.
Other places are beautiful, and enjoyable, but I love living in Texas. It is basically because this is where I have lived all the time.

I believe it is same for all other people as well. You love where you live, and where you are used to.

Plus, for me Texas is good because of my career nature / education background too.

South has its CHEAP solution and some job opportunities in CERTAIN sectors..Not everybody is looking for that..

In a perfect situation, with a decent job and when money is not a problem, I would never live in Texas--TOOO HOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTt and  its neighboring southern state, most of them are not even driveable forget about being liveable..

But, that doesn't mean there isnt anybody who can't make the most out of Texas or the southern states in general..its what floats ur boat and my boat just doesnt float around a bunch of uneducated hicks..with hot and humid weather...sure they talk about GOD and all but then they elect someone like GEORGE W.BUSH..

I stop right there!!

God bless you people in Texas and elsewhere in the SOUTH, glad it works for you all...a cheap solution for students...May be...!! Standard of living once you are settled in life? Not so amicable.

It can be  temporary solution but not a permanent one for me...I would rather live in 4 months of  heavy snow in Minnesota than 8 months of humid & HOT weather of Texas...

they don't use 911 in Texas ? ho ra ? they use 311 then? JK

Minnesota has dime a dozen of those god talking crazies as Texas does....sure they talk about God but they elect someone like Michelle Bachman

I stop right there!!

God bless you people in Minnesota and elswehere int he north, Glad it works for you all...a cheap solution for students...may be!!!
Standard of living once you settle in life? In MN you get nowhere.

It can be temporary solution but not a permanent one for me... i would rather live  in 8 months of Texas than 4 months of humid & hot weather and snow blizzard and sub zero winds of Minnesota

I will take NY and CA over Texas as well...I will also take Illinois and Washington over Texas too :)!

मेरो एउटा साथी त मिनेसोटा आको ४ बर्ष भो एक चोटि गुलो उथ्या छैन भन्थ्यो है कक्रिएर ! i would rather live in 8 months of humid and HOT weather of texas than die virgin in mennesota !

 @Fat Beast, You sure your friend isn't suffering from erectile dysfunction? 

@Paulina, where do you live? (excuse my assertiveness if you feel like I'm being one, I'm curious, that's all). 

ब्रो तिम्रो गुलोलाई एक्चोटी हिउ को थुप्रोमा घुसाएर उथौन खोज त ! तेत्तिकै त के तिमी गुल्लेको अगाडि कत्रिना नै नङै  उभिये नि तिम्रो भाई उथ्दैन बुज्योउ नि कुरो !

 haha. I fail to understand how erection and snow are co-related though. Are you telling me that if you were to 'dip' your penis inside an object that's over 115 degrees hot, you're gonna have a hard on if you were to see a naked hot lady? 

आइ फेल तो अन्डरस्त्यान्ड योर ईंग्लिश ब्रदर, क्यान यू ब्रेक इत डाउन अ लिटल फोर मी ?

  Its simple, In hot place women wear short clothes I mean very short. By seeing half or 3/4 naked women man diickkkk  erected so fast but in cold place like MN women wear long trousers and thick jackets literally they look like man. 
So, from that prospective too its better to live in hot place.

 Not surprised to see you fail to comprehend my post in all fairness. I mean, when you present an absolutely ridiculous perspective, what could one really expect? So Texas is better than Minnesota because you won't have a hard-on after digging your penis in snow? What sort of retarded logic is that...You tell me.

footyfan, i do not live in Minnesota or Texas, I live in the northeast, but I have been to both of these extreme opposite places..and hence my preference is for the cold place versus the hot place..

 @Fat Beast. I'd probably say 12.
