I get out to every single part of Worcester constantly. All of Worcester is incredibly safe. Maybe you need to live in some other cities for a few years.

It’s so gentrified over here especially since the pandemic it’s 60% pharmacy students, Umass students and people priced out of Boston now. Rental companies have bought everything up.

Careful I can follow the link to your QR code in the pic (dunno if that’s important or not)

It’s completely gentrified 60% of the apartments are pharmacy students

No I’m not talking about fire alarms and you admit you haven’t been here in years.

It’s definitely exaggerated by people who either don’t live here or haven’t lived here since the 90s. I see the same stuff with people talking about downtown when reviewing restaurants. Worcester has some rough areas but it’s not LA lol.

I think this is it.

Clinton dam

Yes but we are not all Tier One operators like you. Be sympathetic.

Which areas would be best/easiest to live in if you worked/studied at UMass? (I’m moving to Worcester in July for school) Thank you!

Break it down for someone not in the know.

How much you looking at there?

For $3,000/month, you could rent anything really.

Not true.

They have a 20% sale today and next few days! Store is A+, probably my favorite place in the city

Plenty of nice areas close to UMass. Bell Hill isn’t one of them!

Wow nice pull. I should stop by their store sometime

The Hill is crazy. I haven't been anywhere on this side of the Mississippi River that has a major street going up a hill like that.

Years ago Rodney Street and Catharine Streets were fairly dangerous (I pulled over there for a bit to look at a map - that's how long ago it was, a paper map - and some people came and started rocking my car), but the area has changed since then. Socioeconomically it's still pretty working class, but not a dangerous area.

Best piece of advice: take the "hill" in Bell Hill seriously. Trying to drive up Belmont Street from downtown is a nightmare in the winter. Even buses get stuck sometimes.

The dam in Clinton has a stupid long staircase.

West side sucks and is so far from everything.

Holy cross has this thing where they run up the stairs.

Jut lock your car doors, don’t leave anything expensive in there, or anything visible, even an empty backpack. Lock your front and back doors. And that’s really it. But that goes for every town in America.
