I went to school in Worcester and lived there for two years after and then spent two years in west Hartford. I think that Worcester and Hartford are very similar. Both around the same size, have a minor league baseball team, and a lot of colleges in the area. Worcester gets significantly more snow though.

I think I liked the restaurants in Worcester more but Hartford has happy hour which is nice. I wasn’t around for the Woo Sox but the Hartford yard goats games are a lot of fun.
