UBC in Vancouver is the most different culturally. You won’t experience “American culture” rather Canadian, which is different.

Vancouver feels a lot like a European city in many ways. UBC is a great school (but is very large) and Vancouver is a world class city with lots to offer, and the surrounding area is wonderful, as well.

Babson is a college that specializes in business. Its proximity to the city of Boston could be considered a great plus.

Austin is a great location. You will have the “American culture” experience of living in Texas, but Austin has a vibrant and cosmopolitan arts and cultural scene that some people are surprised to find in Texas.

Texas and North Carolina are hot in the summer.
Wisconsin, Illinois, Boston and Michigan get quite cold in the summer.
Vancouver has a similar climate to Vienna.
