I went to school in New Hampshire (New Hampsha). I lived in Manchester, which is about the closest thing to a city in the state. There is Concord and Nashua, but both are really a collection of strip malls. I thought it was really easy to live there, not a lot of stress, decent people. I was about 40 minutes from Boston so I spent a lot of time there. What I really liked about it was the seasons, Fall is amazing. There are a lot of lakes and summers there are really cool, and winters obviously kind of suck but there is no lack of skiing.
