    I lived in Switzerland (Geneva) for several years. It's a terrific place to be, but remember this phrase, and you'll be fine:

    Switzerland is a private country club, and you'll NEVER be a member.


    Once you recognize that, you'll have fun! BTW, Geneva is kind of a pit, compared to places more westward, Nevertheless, proximity to skiing and GREAT french restaurants is well worth it!

    I lived on (gag!) Avenue d'Aire. (for those that know Geneva)

    Would not knowing Italian, French, German, or Rumantsch be a problem??

    Interesting. What do you mean by , "Switzerland is a private country club, and you'll NEVER be a member.". I know its so expensive, and they are selective in immigrations.

    What exactly make Switzerland have the prestige and appeal to many people.

    Switzerland fared very well in our "where would you like to live" poll IIRC.
