Living in the United States

Hi everybody, 

My dream is to live in the US when I'm older (in New York or California especially). In college I will have to take a gap year. Can someone tell me what it's like to live over there ? Is the city as expansive than what people say ? 

Thank you very much for your answers !

Script for a ZEEMEE VIDEO Hi everybody, I wrote a script of presentation for my college application. Thank you for your corrections and comments ! "I practice languages because I love it. Practice a language for me is just a simple way to understand others, their cultures, their way of life. I have online correspondant and friends from all around the world, that brought me open-mindness. I'm fond of traveling, especially in the United States. My dream is to work in international communication in the US or in another English speaking country. Before to know the BBA Global Business you offer, I was thinking about start my 3 first year of college in France and then leave to study in an university abroad. The BBA GLobal Business match exactly with my desires, and permit to students to have an international experience in a university abroad very early. We discover the 3 continents, and from this experience, we learn to know different countries, different cultures, different people. And it's exactly what I was looking for. To conclude, I would say that languages and travels are very important to me. United states were a beautiful and tremendous experience, and from this moment, two years ago, I knew exactly who I wanted to be, what I wanted to do and where I wanted to live. My travels in the US definited my personality. My passions are dance and reading, classic and fantastic books. Thanks you for watching my ZEEMEE MEET ME VIDEO, I really hope you enjoy it and hope that now you know better who I am and who I want to be in the future. Kinds regards !"
