my biggest tip is to get a library card, my local library has books, audiobooks, cds, and computers you can use for free there.
Don’t worry too much about fashion, it’s not that big of a deal. Just wear clothes you like and if anyone bothers you ignore them!

See if the city you’re moving to has a 7/11. It’s my personal favorite gas station I love it.
since you’re moving to PA, there’s another gas station called sheetz that you’ll see around. It has relatively okay food for not too expensive and you can get stuff like candy/actual hot food there.

for fashion you dont need to go with whats trendy, id recommend making moodboards and then finding clothes that remind you of those moodboards

for friends, idk much but if you talk to people in your classes youll likely make some

Don't worry about clothes. Nobody looks at Israelis on TV and wonder OMG WTF ARE THEY WEARING???

The US has tons of local/regional accents, but we pretend we don't. If it takes you a little time to decode local conversation, that's normal and doesn't mean you're bad at English.

Ask a friend to take you on local public transportation at least once so you know how it works. All the systems are different because they're run by local governments. Also put the local taxi service number/Uber app in your phone in case you get stranded.

The nationwide emergency services number is 911. The non-emergency police number is different for each city.

Get a library card. You can borrow videos and music as well as books, all for free. Some systems also loan e-books.

McDonalds has the cheapest coffee and soda, but rarely has hot tea.

school: focus and find a small group of friends. Please please do not join the big friend group that looks “so fun” they all hate each other and there’s a ton of drama between them

Fashion: I reccomend taking inspiration from tiktok/Pinterest! Also the people around you. Fashion doesn’t matter too much, hygiene does tho so invest in good perfumes and hygiene products

Friends: just be nice! Also be yourself! It sounds cheesy but it’s true, also if someone doesn’t like u that’s their loss!

schools are kinda bad for me considering i live down south but i guess just be quiet and try to find some friends/people who u think look "weird" usually these type of kids labeled as weird are gonna be some of nicest people you ever meet.

With fashion just go with your style cuz alot of ppl be wearing everything! just try to find the perefect type of clothing for you

for learing english my best advice is to use languae learing apps

so im moving 2 america. i need serious advice.
