You can tell it's not Williamsburg because the price isn't $6000

Also moved here from CA several years ago and getting a car here is WORTH IT. I did Uber and Zipcar and got rides from people. The latter was a nice way to bond with people, but Uber and Zipcar added up. I tried the bus system, but it drove me crazy how the bus drivers left before they were supposed to (they would arrive and leave before the scheduled bus stop).

Bocado for sure

Love Baba! But I'm thinking I'd like to go somewhere new (to me)

I love elm park. I am the weirdo that goes for a walk on break from the Sole a few times a week. Walking with a shirt and tie always gets me looks.

That's where we go for almost every special event

Except for some reason when my MIL graduated from grad school and we went to applebees

No it’s the heart of downtown. The area they are referring to is several blocks south of there.

I recommend Via in Worcester or Val’s in Holden (if sushi isn’t your thing)

I second Baba

As someone who grew up in Central Massachusetts and works in Worcester. Not far from your campus, you will Definitely want your car. Without it, your world will be too small. You will want to get out and explore different places in your down time. Without a car, your very limited to where and what you can do. Relying on the train or bus to go to Boston is ok, but on their schedule. Worcester is not big enough to just staying there. New England as a whole, is a beautiful area and every bit of it should be explored. But, you need your car to do so. What is great about the Worcester area is if you look at a map and draw a circle 90 miles (say, within 90 minutes)out, you can explore so many areas. From Boston to part of the Cape. Providence or Newport, RI. Mystic, CT to Foxwoods. Springfield to Shelburne Falls, MA. Brattleboro, Vt to Portsmouth, Nh . Portland, ME to Newburyport, MA. Each area I mentioned are driveable from Worcester and each should be visited while you are out this way.

Hello future neighbor - some good spots walkable for eat and drink in pretty much every direction .5 mile from elm st

Also if you want to work in dialysis during school hit me up. We actually do a program that pays for nursing school. Just thought of that. I’m their social worker!

Baba if you like sushi

Public transit is practically non-existent in Worcester. As others have said, buses are free, but you’ll never know if they’ll show up when they’re supposed to, so they’re not something you can rely on. If possible, you should reconsider bringing your car, especially if you’re coming from a city in California (because you’ll be in for a culture shock in terms of walkability and public transit).

I live on Elm St. I’m happy here. Walking distance to downtown, Highland st, Elm Park/Park Ave. Also pretty quiet at night. There’s a few halfway houses that sometimes start mischief but I’ve never feared for my safety. It’s a good walkable area while still being safe IMO.

By the middle of February you will be contemplating ways to kill yourself.

EDIT: It's a JOKE, people. Geez...

GBV though.

We don't shut down, but the city does a real shit job of digging out anywhere that's not a main area

You super excited to save some money on rent?

You’re gonna wanna kill yourself in February, but spring is awesome.

Yea it’s way below average, probably gets torn up by people out of touch with the housing market
