I am, Rahasya. This thread is a farce in so many different ways that its beyond hilarious. "Jungles in Austin" re. Texas has a great weather re. Ffs, didn't Dallas just break its own record of seeing the most number of consecutive days of mercury rising above 100? My buddies were telling me how the temperature would go above 90 at 7 am. Compare that to 65-75 degrees that the Bay Area enjoys throughout the summer (to go with no snow in winter). I don't think the temp went above 80 degrees more than 3 times during the entire summer. Chilly/cool mornings, mild-warm afternoons followed by mild/cool eveninngs.

Also, I don't really believe Texas is the best state for Students. If you're a student looking for quality education, Minnesota is the best state. Period. You can work your ass off during the summer and work PT during school year and end up graduating college from a decent University at an affordable rate and what's more, you won't even be 'wasting' extra 2-3 years in Community colleges before graduating. Further, you get to lead a typical 'American Life' whilst also socializing among fellow Nepalese. Parties, extra co-curricular activities, trips in Fall/Thanksgiving/Easter/Winter Breaks - you get to enjoy all those, too. 

That said, I'm not saying Texas is bad or anything. You get to work like 50-70 hrs in Gas Stations without papers and go to colleges at an affordable rate,too. I just don't think that Texas is the best state to live in. Its not even close. North Carolina, Virginia, Oregon, California, Washington, Indiana and even Minnesota are just some of the better states off the top of my head.
