You blame him for not re-hiring security after the last superintendant had fired them to save money for the contractors who make money off the school.

What's especially funny is the high rate of domestic abuse that police do at home. Then add in the cheating. Yikes.

Depends on what you’re looking for. NH has everything (like every state let’s be honest). If you want small town city vibes then Dover and Portsmouth are great (but pricey). Manchester, nashua, and concord are the big cities that have their positives and negatives (if you want to be as close to Boston as possible I’d go with somewhere around here in the southern NH region). Or you can go to central NH around lake winnipesaukee (Laconia, Meredith, Gilford etc) that are beautiful small lake towns but also pricey. Much closer to the mountains though which would be great if you like hiking and natural beauty. NH has something for everyone and it’s all pretty close to each other!

no the one from mass is

OP- New Hampshire is actually a pretty rough place to start out. Property values aren’t in line with “young professional” expectations, property tax is not in line with what you get (UNH is one of the most expensive in state tuitions there is, many NHers go elsewhere because OUT OF STATE there is cheaper than IN STATE here). NH doesn’t have a thriving [insert xyz] scene here. This isn’t and never will be eg Silicon Valley or the Insurance Hub or the Port of Long Beach etc. if you succeed here it’s often despite your NH location not because of it.

That said, the Quality of Life here can be absolutely fantastic. We have world class rock climbing, our ski mountains have forged the likes of Bode Miller (and our skiing is literally the cheapest in North America, fantastic value) people use winter hikes up the Presidentials to prepare for Nepalese ascents. There’s fantastic sailing and camping. You can surf and ski in the same day. If you factor in “quality of life” aspects I haven’t found a single place better (Switzerland is close, but still not even NH). As such you should think about what you want out of a move.

“Picturesque Quaint Mountain Towns” try Hanover, Lincoln and Littleton. If you go to Littleton, you will like it. I’ve never, not one time, had someone take me up on a trip to Littleton and come back disappointed

“Happening Hip Places” there’s no NH version of Richmond’s “The Fan” or Bawlmoh’s Federal Hill, so adjust your expectations, but I genuinely think Dover and Portsmouth punch way, way above their weight class. Walk around portsmouth, you’ll see for yourself. Wonderful beaches are just down the road, you’ll love it

“I gotta work in Boston Metro” Portsmouth is still a solid option but consider Bedford.

“My job requires I work in Concord”. Good news! Concord is actually cool! I think it appeals more to the 30 something crowd than the 20 something crowd, but it’s refined and fun. Also check out satellite towns, like Canterbury. C-Bury is full of eccentric hippy types who: raise yaks, have ayahuasca retreats, make maple syrup and surf boards from their timber stands. Hell, we had our own hermit up until recently!

Something to consider is the Upper Valley around Hanover, NH. College town, some high tech, outdoor activities, trust fund babies, restaurants, etc. if you can score a job and housing, you’re all set.

Happy to help. I love my state (my family has been here since 1638) and sharing its beauty. Just let me buy a home first haha!

What career field are you looking to go into, that will be a huge variable determining if it's even reasonable to move here.

Despite being a purple state that's trending bluer each election, we still are a small-government kind of state. If you're expecting a lot from the state government, you're going to be disappointed. It's a system that actually works pretty well, but people who move up here from Mass sometimes are shocked.

What kind of work are you going to be looking for after you graduate?

Thanks lol

yes but the past few days winds were going south. It shouldnt be burning at this time I would think

Nice username. I dig it!

That’s a bit better than how I phrased it.

Vermont is technically part of New Hampshire!

*shakes fist at New York*

I think if the fart cloud of death was going to move, it would have done so at this point.

I think Ohio is in the "It's not safe to move back yet, but we're going to tell you to do so because this looks bad politically" phase right now.

NH is a very live-and-let-live type of state. If you love how beautiful NH is and love NH for what it is, please don't move here and try to make it like where you came from. This is a popular belief with NH natives, conservative or liberal leaning.

There is also a sentiment (myself included) that out-of-state rich city people are moving and making affordable housing out of reach for a lot of families. We are approximately 20k housing units short to be considered 'balanced'. I'm at 135k and borderline out of the market.

There are also a lot of cultural differences between Maryland and NH, firearms being one I can think of quickly. Also consider our biggest city is 100k people, so we are not an urban state. Below Concord is more suburban meanwhile above is rural.

If you're a progressive liberal, Portsmouth and Hanover are good spots for you. If you're conservative, liberty minded anywhere else is a good place.

Where are all the stupid Republicans who did absolutely nothing for so many years and fought against any kind of legislation that would keep this kind of crap from happening?

Don't even bother asking that question because I know you don't care about the answer.

This is a great post and I second every word

As a recent graduate, from & living in NH, to be honest… there are not a lot of jobs here at the moment and it’s very expensive. The majority of people I know pursuing careers post graduation have moved away. However, if you’re feeling competitive & up for a challenge the seacoast area is great - Portsmouth, Kittery (maine), Dover, New Market.
