I live in Rhode Island and I'm moving to South Carolina for school. I heard the culture shock is such that I may have trouble making friends. Opinions on south vs. north?

If you're going to a university its the same shit.
>>723213123
If you're going to a decent school, it won't just be locals. But if you're surrounded by nothing but Southerners, you'll always be an outsider.
>>723213123
No matter where you go people will hate you, especially south. Northerners are gah Damn ignorant af
I lived up north near Philly for 22 years, and I moved south to Florida 3 or 4 years ago.
It's enjoyable at first, everyone's really nice. But as you go forward, you realize that 85% of the population in the south needs to be wiped out.

Also that their niceness is skin deep

Lived in south carolina for 13 years. A few things for you
Southerners are as two faced as they come. Expect to hear the phrase "bless your heart" a lot
There are a lot of stupid people there who unfortunately believe they're smart.
People unironically call the civil war the war of northern aggression
South Carolina is a conservative state like no other. Expect to hear the words liberal/libtards thrown around constantly
Gamecocks are absolute trash

To be fair 85% of everybody needs to be wiped out.

i've lived in mpls almost my entire life. blood family is from the carolinas.
people here suck. so icy. at least in the south people give an impression of giving a shit about each other.
also the "liberalism" of the midwest is some weird social construct that for whatever its upside doesn't involve sex.
could be worse - you could end up in the midwest.

It'll help if ya don't talk all faggy

I'm wrapping up a project near Columbia, and the worst fucking ever around here is the fucking slow-ass left lane campers on the 2-lane interstates...big rigs in the right lane fuck up the rest.
Also, I love the low gas prices, and fairly low cost of living. Smokers get a bonus down here.
However, I can't wait to get back up to the mid-atlantic.

>>Southerners are as two faced as they come. Expect to hear the phrase "bless your heart" a lot
Southerner here. I hear that a lot but it's about expectations and mis-understanding. People think southerners "pretend" to be nice but are really shitty as fuck.
here's the low down
>Southerners are just as petty and shitty and most other folks in the US.
>They aren't more so ON AVERAGE
>Only some midwesterners and by extension not french speaking Canadians are actually nicer than average
The problem is politeness. We are overly polite, to a fucking fault because it's all over the top. We're raised that way. So people who aren't used to it thinks we "are so damn nice" to everyone.
Until we aren't and they think we are two faced.
It's just a cultural difference.
politeness /= kindness
Out politeness is like Japanese politeness. It's form over function.

Thats okay, that is where 85% of the black population is.

This.
People take themselves way too fucking seriously most of the time. Minnesota nice is a myth. But when it snows, people do help push your car out of a snowbank, so that's nice.

Are you from Northern or Southern RI?
