I’m from MA as well, and I just looked up Lancaster. Holy mama that’s far up!! I’d be terrified.

I’m going mostly for the music. Never been to a real punk event like that, but since I’m into punk music, I probably should. And I’m on a mission to experience Worcester culture since I live so close.

They were very nice! Good drinks and treats as well. The arboretums were our favorite part. A bit crowded in spots, but nothing crazy. Ticket prices are a bit much, but that’s everything nowadays, and it’s a great place to support anyway. But tickets are selling like hot cakes, so make that decision now.

For what it’s worth, if this were my decision to make, I’d live somewhere in the city proper, and not the surrounding towns. You can’t beat the convenience of being close to all that Worcester has to offer. And it’s not a bad city. Sure, there are some trashy neighborhoods, but you’ll find that in any MA city. It’s very crowded, but it’s not like driving in Boston. My mom lived down by the bridge that goes over into Shrewsbury (not good with names.) it was a fine neighborhood, right across from UMass Memorial, and she paid like $1,300 for a 2-bedroom in a triple decker. Not the best, but far from the worst. Anyhow, with $3k as your budget I’m certain you’ll have no problem finding a great place.

Any suburb in that area would be good. Brockton, New Bedford, and Fall River are your dingy and crime-ridden cities, but know that no city in MA is truly that bad compared to other places in the US. It’s mostly downtown areas and the triple-decker neighborhoods abutting the downtown areas. You shouldn’t have a problem finding an affordable place though. For fun and nightlife, Providence is your go-to city, as well as Boston. Both are easy to get to. Also drive to the Cape during off season to enjoy the empty beaches.
