I wouldn't move to Worcester, MA from Ireland. There are places in the US that are really nice, but Worcester isn't one of them. Actually, most of the east coast is shitty except for a few areas.

Source: I'm from the Midwest and people out here are rude and entitled. My biggest regret in life has been leaving the Midwest for the east coast. Just don't have enough money to move back and probably can't sell my house for enough in today's market.

There’s a train that goes directly to Boston, it takes a little over an hour but there’s lots to do in Boston if all else fails. There definitely are some hidden gems of Worcester but to be realistic I know I definitely wouldn’t have enjoyed them as a teenager. There isn’t much to do and a lot of teens either get into trouble or get jobs, i know I worked with some of them.

Worcester is one of those “working on it” cities that really try to engage the public and there are a lot of cool events that happen in Worcester year round but overall falls flat bc of the lack of social spaces and event spaces. I recently moved to the Boston area and I enjoy my everyday life so much more.

Yea I hope that area is safe, definitely one of the harder hit locations. I think alot of it had to do with specific temperature because it was just about a degree or 2 warmer than 32 during the majority of the storm. Then again idk for sure like I live in an elevated spot above 600' also just a completely bizarre storm.

Depends on the school you go to there and where you would be living. It's great because you're near things , but the city itself is not cool like Boston. Worcester is 39 miles from Boston. 2 hours to cape cod with traffic. It's about an hour from anywhere near the ocean. If you are in hschool, I wouldn't want to move but maybe you would like to reinvent yourself here.

The nice thing about worcester is that it’s right in the middle of massachusetts so there’s neighboring cities with other fun things to do all within a 15-30 minute drive. And assuming you would go to school with other kids, you’re bound to make friends with people who know the area and know the places to be. It’s the kind of city you’d have to actually walk/drive around in to notice anything eye catching. Google’s just going to show you five different historical museums

Not much until the summer/fall really with the art festival and stuff like it, Saint Patricks day is coming up but it hasn't boaded well with the political turmoil against it and the gang nonsense making bar hopping dangerous, the weather being poor when the parade comes doesn't help either.

Probably wanna travel around state more often for events and such, particularly the boston area holds alot to do. You can take the train if you don't like driving there too.
