some superficial differences: myths and truths.

I first came to College on the east coast with certain expectations and lack there of, here's what i found.

Dispelled:
-Everyone smokes
Not so. I'd say the two coasts have about the same number of smokers, the difference is that the east doesn't villainize smoking like the west coast.

-the drivers are crazy
They’re no worse than Californians (and they don't get as angry when you mess up).

-they don’t smile as much
This might be true

What I’ve noticed:

-there's a whole lot more baseball cap wearing on the east coast
-people don’t care that much about basketball
-people care about baseball A LOT
-there is a lot more notice of and significance put on cultural ethnicity and religion. While on the west coast we tend to blend, on the east people adhere to types and shades more.
