Re: Studying in and eventually moving to the US

I would seriously reconsider doing a 4 year degree- you should be able to transfer to a 4 year school after your Associates degree and will be in a better position to apply for jobs.

Re: Best driving conditions for a hybrid

I have no idea on the best conditions for a Hybrid in general but since I've had mine I'm getting about 38-40mpg highway and around 33-34 in the city. I traded a year-old Murano which averaged 14mpg...

Re: Newbie wanting to move USA..many questions!! Eek!!
