Should i move to chicago? Advicee needed! plz? -

ok so, ima junior in hsmy dad got a job in illinois, he s letting my decide whether to move or noti really don t know what to decide.i live in an asian infested city, so the school is rly hard here, i see asians everywhere!i love my friends, i want to graduate from the school i would have been at for 4 yearsi also want to move at the same time because i know i would experience high school differently(im going to chicago either way after school)i want to meet new people and make new friends, but im worried that i wont be able to because everyone would know eachother already! I see the word chicago everywhere, so im guessing its a great place to live.i also dont like the people in my school, they are just mean stuck up b*****s, and i don t want to be here anymore, but i still want to for the reasons abovewhat do u guys think i should do?

Well, you say you don t like some of the people in your school which is already a great reason to move if your given the oppurtunity. Chicago is a great place to live in because the people happen to be nicer then in other cities *cough cough New York* at least when they re not killing eachother. Chicago also has great schools. I suggest you move here because Chicago is a very interesting city, and if you lived where you do now all your life then it would be great to have a little change.You say you see the word Chicago everywhere, what do you hear about it?

Where ever you go, you will have to meet new people. As far as the other person wrote, chicago has many different ethnic people. The schools in the suburbs are better than chicago, but there are other alternative schools in Chicago itself to choose from. It is hard to move when you are a JR in high school, but I knew someone that moved from NY city to chicago as a JR in high school and he adapted well.

I think you should. I was born in chicago and I love it here.There s lots of stuff to do, and we re really friendly.. haha.Oh and don t forget the pizza its the best (: haha.

First off I am disheartened by your use of the term asian infested city. That comes off as racist. In which case I would not move to Chicago because it is infested with many cultures including Polish, Mexican, Irish, Italian, Ukranian, many other Eastern European cultures, and many Central American Cultures. We also have a very renowned Chinatown. And Korea Town.Schools - much as I love Chicago as a city I am still nervous about sending my kids to a school there. There are good magnet schools but I don t know the system and one would have to demonstrate higher scholastic achievement to get in. I live in Glen Ellyn (German Culture) for its good schools and more affordable housing. Naperville, Elmhurst, and Evanston have good schools but also are more expensive.I hope that helps and I hope you ll be more considerate and careful with the terms you use. Best of luck to you.
