From my experiences, this is what Ive learned and have had to become " accustomed to " since coming to school down here from the north: :arrow: The HEAT...Lord knows when its hot down here it is HOT...way too hot for my black ****... :arrow: THE ACCENTS and DIALECT...I been down here almost 2 years and I still have a hard time understanding what folks be sayin. In my experiences, alotta southern people talk fast and slurr their words which makes it hard for me to make out what they sayin...but usually by the third repeat I get it. :arrow: THE HOSPITALITY...people are alot nicer and friendlier down here than they are up there..and thats always refreshing and something to look forward to.

as far as food...expect A LOT of good cooking on sundays...get cool with somebody grandma or something...Sweet Tea...EVERY BODY in the south drinks Sweet tea or at least tried it... Weather: You're gonna love it, in ATL it's Feb. and 71 degrees...so imagine what it'll be like in AL People: Southern Hospitality exists...i'm guilty of it too...we wave at people when they let us in front of them while driving...we speak and ask how you're doing...dammit we're JUST FRIENDLY!!!

Oo I love sweet teas and pearl milk tea- I didn't know that there were too many Asians in the South?

I've been in Augusta Ga. all my life and I pretty much know what to expect.. Southern people aren't slow by any means but they do have slower speech. That may make them seem slow.. Southern hospitality isn't everywhere in the south so please watch out about that. Where you are going you need to watch out for white supremacy groups. In truth nothing is drastically different about the south to the north. The only real thing that is different is the slang we speek. Learn how to use them to your advantage.
