Re: Living in Texas
Well, to happily live in Texas, you must like hot weather.
Texas is a state that offers variety in almost everything. It is one of the richest state of USA and one of the best states to weather situations such as the present economic crises. It is affected of course, but no as much as other states.
Texas is also consider a conservative state.

Re: Living in Texas
Texas is a good place to live for economic opportunities, housing, and affordability, but it is true that this state is in some ways less cosmopolitan and international, so it can be a bit lonely as an expat. The conservative culture is very, very different from Europe, so be warned!

Re: Living in Texas
I am happy with my life in Dallas-Texas. A growing city! Very clean! Jobs opportunities! big houses at an affordable price, people are nice, friendly. Weather is great! Is getting more and more international, and the liberal vibe is coming here too

Re: Living in Texas
What is the weather most? Hot, rainy?
Not so much ago I saw video on National Geographic that goverment want to build gigantic shield over Houston, because to safe city from huricanes and pollution. I think it's quite stupid, to live under shield.
Oh and they said that every year average temperature in Houston are growing too fast.

Re: Living in Texas
Hi all
I am an "Afro-French", I'm 27. I live in Rennes for my studies and my family lives in Paris.
I'll make a post-doc in Austin in October, with Professor Bard. I want a flat but I know nobody in this city.
Can you give me some information to find an apartment?
Thank you
