2. I love California, depending on where you live will tell you the crime rate, California is pretty big so its not that bad. Its beutiful there though.
3. whatever you do DON'T life in wisconsin...haha that's where i live. it depends on what you like...if you like to spend winter indoors and freezing your butt off when you have to shovel 20 inches of snow...spring to wear sweaters while you take a walk and warm summer nights... ^ that's wisconsin i'd probably say a small town in like michigan or GREENDALE WISCONSIN...i went there once and it is soooooooo small but they have schools, a mall and a village it's cute.
4. If you want low crime rate then you ain't gonna find it in USA http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_tot_cri-crime-total-crimes
5. Well you could become a paramedic anywhere here the state's so it doesn't matter where ever there is a hospital you'll pretty much have chance.As for what state, each state is different from the last, its true, I just moved from New Jersey where I was born and lived most of my life to Arizona and I had a culture shock. Anyway if you want lower crime rate's i'm not exactly sure how you'll find it, may I suggest living in a suburb instead of a city , here in AZ we have apartment's and condo's in the suburbs and they're pretty affordable.
6. Philadelphia western suburbs. The cost of living is fairly low, you are less than 3 hours from anything you could want...NYC, Wsahington DC, Baltimore, The mountains the NJ beaches. It is beautiful here and the people are great. You get to experience all 4 seasons. You can commute easily to Phila for the wonderful medical schools. Lots of great colleges in the suburbs, too. We have lived all over the country and we don't desire to live anywhere else.

8. Depends on how much money you have. everyone wants to live in California...for good enough reason, climate, sunshine...atmosphere...but its expensive. My cousin lives in San Diego and he has a couple room mates, cant even begin to afford a house let alone rent alone. I lived in Minneapolis for a long time. Had a great time. People are way cool and friendly. It really depends on your tastes. Its huge! So to ask what area??? thats tough.
9. Fort Lauderdale, FL.
10. i thought they had an immigration problem
11. California
12. Low crime rate? Maybe Maine or Vermont?
13. i'm in love with florida
14. If you are looking for something that is not much of a culture shock, low crime rate, beautiful with tons of outdoors activities, a growing EMS, lots of teaching opportunity etc.. it is definately Montana. Billings, Great Falls, (Kalispell is fire based), Missoula they are all magnificant. Crime rate is obsolete compared to these other places. Its just more so what other features are you looking for? That would narrow it down even more. But traffic, people, everything is just wonderful in Montana. Nothing to harsh to deal with and in some of the areas you will get lots of calls and great ones too. In Montana it has more land to cover per ambulance so, lots of calls you will only treat with in minutes in the other areas vs. in Montana you could potentially have over an hour with them. It is very unique. Good Luck!
15. I from the uk i advise you on texas. i live there in san angelo. good place
