What do you prefer for an exchange experience: Canada or USA?

Well... I'm in an exchange program and I will go to the USA or Canada next April. So... What do you prefer and why: Canada or USA?

******I am American and I think both countries are great! Canada has a large province (Quebec) that is French speaking and has a European feel if you go to Montreal and Quebec City. Canada is quite large from east to west so sometimes they have the same type of life as Americans on the border of the two countries. In the east there is fishing (Newfoundland and Nova Scotia) on the west coast too (British Columbia). In some of the western provinces they have a more ranch or western style lifestyle, (near Calgary). As for the US we have lots of natural wonders in different states. Our cities are large and noisy. In both countries it depends on where you live.....what state....you can be by the beach, live in a farmng community, a big city. If you know where the exchange program is going to send you I would read about the state or province and then choose. Perhaps some Italki users can give you their impressions if they have traveled to North America.
