    The city where I study is in Wilmington, NC. Roads without side walks are very scary if you do not have a car and have to walk or cycle. So, I would try to get home from campus early. However, I love the climate here as well as the proximity to the beach. One of my favorite things to do here is to go to produce market to get fresh fruit and ginger ale.

    The city is great. As I said before, we have the beach, lots of acitivites around, we have great bars, breweries and resturants. It's very safe from what I've seen and I enjoy it a lot.

    I am studying in a city called Wilmington. It is a beautiful port city with great weather and amazing people. I feel safe here; I consider this place as my second home and it's very welcoming. Transportation is bad, people definitely need a car. It does have nice shopping center and at night the downtown and the river walk is gorgeous.

    The city I lived in was not safe or international-student friendly. There is no public transportation, therefore international students cannot easily move around town. Moreover, there are not sidewalks to walk.
