I visited some French friends in Italy back in February. They've all lived in or visited the U.S. The vast majority of them (All but one) preferred France/Italy.
Then again, their choices were made based on age (16-19). If you're used to getting into nightclubs, getting cigarettes/alcohol without trouble, smoking weed in public with no problem, ect., prepare for disappointment. If you'd like to drive, that's the only positive benefit. However if you're able to move internationally at will, you're probably over 21.
Either way, it's probably going to be a disappointment. America isn't as bad as the Americans on here will make it seem, but it's a step down from Western Europe. Prepare for irritating Christians (There exists a higher proportion of Christians in American than Jews in Israel, for a reference), more conservative moral values, racism, widespread and blatant homophobia and a more widespread but less contemptuous Islamophobia as compared to France. Drugs are a big deal here, even pot. Also if you're poor/uneducated, you'll be more fucked over here than you would be in France. But otherwise, it's not so bad. Just some aspects will be mildly annoying.
