Here Is What You Need To Know
An increasing number of foreigners are finding themselves in the U.S. So, what can you expect when you come to the United States? While some factors can impact your move, an influx of immigrants has made the U.S. a truly multicultural society. Some of the best things about the United States are things that can seem strange to a person who has never visited the country. In the United States, you will experience things similar to your own culture and things that are completely alien to your own experience. You will have the opportunity to see a different way of living and meet people from all over the world.
Everything is BIG in the U.S.
The United States is the 3rd largest country globally. The North American continent is filled with giant stores, cars, and ideas. The size of the country is often compared to its population. The U.S. has about 330 million people, which is about 4% of the world’s population. The amount of people of India and China are the only countries that exceed the U.S., with approximately 1.3 billion and 1.4 billion, respectively.
The U.S. also has an abundance of nature and natural resources with wide-open spaces which are incredibly beautiful. Depending on which side of the country you are on, you are able to experience all four seasons with all different types of terrain including tropical regions and desert plains. There are numerous lakes, mountain ranges to ski and hike, and coastlines spanning miles. There are 58 national parks and hundreds of federally management parks, forests, and wilderness areas.
Education
The education system in the United States is consistently ranked the best globally, with 4 of the top 5 schools in the world being in the U.S. In fact, the United States is rated top 10 globally for highly educated people where:
- 84.6% graduated from high school,
- 52.6% attended some college,
- 27.2% earned a bachelor’s degree, and
- 9.6% earned graduate degrees.
Consequently, career opportunities also rank highly amongst other nations in the world. In fact, the U.S. is a leader in scientific research and technological innovation.
Economy
America ranks as a leading economy in terms of nominal gross domestic product (GDP) per capital. If you’re looking for stability and growth, the U.S. is one of the best places to be, as the average household income has one of the highest averages.
The Best Eating Ever!
The U.S. is known to have cuisines specific to America. But given that the U.S. has a multicultural heritage, you can find any type of food from any region around the world at any time. There are over 600,000 restaurants serving cuisines from every corner of the world that appeal to every taste and budget. In fact, there are diners open 24 hours per day with 30-page menus, or small bistros open only during certain hours of the morning. You will also find random food trucks that sell delicious food even at 3AM.
Pet Lover's
The ratio of pet owners in America far exceeds those of other nations. More than 70 percent of the country’s population is a pet owner. Animals are considered part of the family, which means that people will go to great lengths to ensure their pets are well. They dress them up for Halloween, and in some cases, may even take them out drinking.
The pet industry is a huge economic force reaching $99 billion in 2020. Americans treat their pets like kids, so people are therefore more than willing to spend money on their pets, whether they have kids or not. Pet owners spend most of their money on food, veterinary care, toys, and boarding. Consequently, the top three industries that benefit from pet ownership are the food industry, pet supply and product retail, and veterinary care.
Transportation
The U.S. can be a car-centric country. But there are many other forms of transportation such as buses, subways, trains, airplanes, jet packs, and more. Since there are so many different types of places you can visit without even leaving the U.S. such as exploring the snowy mountains or swimming with tropical fish, you can easily reach your destination. The U.S. has a network of over 4 million miles of public roads.
