Im thinking of moving closer to my boyfriend in Manchester, NH...? -

we met at college and now that we ve graduated he had to move back home. I don t like where i live which is near Dallas, TX so i ve decided to move there to be with him. I ve never even been even close to NH but i ve always wanted to live in a northern state. I m a lil scared it ll be too different from what i m used to and won t like it. Can anyone who lives there or near there tell me how you like it and what the people are like? Also is there anything to do there?? Thanx!

I recently moved from California to windham nh its a couple towns south of Manchester. I frequently visit Manchester because the mall there is better and they have more things to do. As for the people here they are all pretty friendly. Manchester is one of the bigger towns and you will see a lot of people from Massachusetts crossing the border for tax free shopping. As far as things to do, eh. I noticed that people here are more close knit because of the lack of things to do. I could be wrong since I have only been here a couple months. I don t know how diverse Texas is, but you will not see a lot of that here. At first I experienced a major culture shock and was not used to it, but I soon found out that a lot of the people here are relatively friendly. Different from what I was used to, you bet. Manchester over all is a nice town to live in because proximity wise, you are close to many things. That could also be a bad thing depending on how you look at it. It is also really cold out here! New Hampshire in general is a nice place to live at if you really like nature due to its diverse collection of trees, lakes, mountains, and open spaces. If you miss the city though, you are not too far away from Boston. Manchester is not really deep into the belly of New Hampshire and it is not too bad of a drive to Boston. The thing that I like about living in NH is that I could visit other states, Massachusetts, Canada, Rhode Island, Vermont, Connecticut, New York, and other places but these are the places that I went to already. They are a drive, but drivable. I remember back in California, all I went to were places in California, like San Francisco or Los Angeles. goodluck with your decision

i live 90 miles from manchester in portland, maine...well new hampshire and all of new england is a paradise especially if you like the outdoors-- NH has the biggest mountains in the east(mt washington and the presidential range), it has the ocean, and some pretty cool towns..i wouldnt pick manchester to live in though-- portsmouth is a really cool small coastal city and so is portland maine--you should talk him into moving to one of those
