Any high quality women in Mass move to Boston

Sorry my stupid phone does that. Dies=does and right =close and gear=great. Sorry. Youll be fine

Can we just start a seperate- "I'm moving to Worcester.....?" pinned thread? I've seen 5 of these posts today, which is fine- but maybe a question and information thread might help a lot of people with questions. We can have a different neighborhood thread's on each- etc. We can contribute info to it etc...

Redemption Rock!

I think its a typo for “does”

Honestly, the rougher areas of Worcester aren’t really that bad. I’ve lived in a lot of major cities across the country and what is considered ghetto in Worcester could be a decent middle class neighborhood anywhere else.

I posted an ad for my duplex one bedroom for rent and got torn up too. Rents have not just gone up in the past ten years, the past two years they’ve almost doubled. Sorry guys! 850 a room in a nice place isn’t really that bad.

Elm Street is a fine street. A little to the south towards Chandler gets kinda sketch, but even then it’s not terrible. Highland St is really nice. Lots of good bars and food joints. Plus WPI is right there, so good security with the student presence.

You will be fine. Because we get a lots of snow, the city digs out pretty quick. It’s not like some places that shut down with 6” of snow.

No, not really. Most of the folks who think that grew up in very sheltered small towns. I lived on Mission Hill in Boston for years and Worcester really isn’t bad at all.

Buy a shovel. Any kind of shovel, you can use it to move snow, or beat people asking for a loosie. And if nursing doesn't work for you, you can move dirt with it. Good luck!

The WRTA sucks, but is free. You can get by depending on neighborhood. Downtown has much more these days, so you should be ok.

32 year old professional married male. Liberal. My wife and I love it here. Yes, it gets cold. Yes, there’s a lot of snow. If you’re renting snow removal doesn’t matter. My wife isn’t from here and she enjoys the city. Lots of good jobs, great sports scene, and plenty of culture.

thanks for the advice! instacart should be a good option for me :-)

As a current MCPHS student, and as someone who lives on campus, I think you may want to reconsider having your car if possible. I know my program (DPT) encourages us to have a car for clinicals, and not much is within walking distance

I work at a dialysis clinic close to the campus. I mean you cant really walk to a grocery store but if you’re cooking for 1 you can at least instacart or something cheaper than many. I live in Holden but I don’t drive at all. My husband brings me into Worcester and I get around w walking and Uber just fine. I’m from New Orleans and Worcester has an insane amount of snow. But the city does a good job with it.

It’s definitely not the worst part of the city, especially since they’ve been gentrifying downtown over the last few years. The worst I’ve ever had is people coming up to me asking for money or a cigarette.

The northern end of Elm Street is very near That's E! an awesome comic shop that has game meetups.

what do u mean “when it dies” ?

im excited!

Oh I’m not sure if that means super close but if it dies you are gonna be good. Highland street is right college kids everywhere check out the boynton and the sole proprietor gear bars

thats gonna be the huge change for me, as a Californian haha
