It was a perfect introduction to the US.
Luckily I had matured a bit when the application was possible to send out two years later. The fear for earthquakes was not mentioned.

Don’t you want to beat yourself up for not wanting to go to SF and ending up in the Midwest? I bet your application inspired those people that screened it to be creative in where to send you… ;-)

My first place in the US was Iowa… I cried for the first week in my dorm room. I couldn’t believe I had to live in that place surrounded by fields for two years. But I ended up loving it at the end of the two years. It has a charm of its own, even though I can’t see myself living there in the long term… Oh human adaptation.
