You’ll have to make it your own. Lots of people are going to say they love it (I’m one of them), lots will say it’s a corrupt liberal shit hole that’s too expensive. One thing I can say is that nurses do really well here. Between Providence and Boston, there are tons of hospitals. We have all four seasons. The ocean is gorgeous and the mountains are only a few hours away. NYC is a short train ride away and the countryside is closer. Summers are hot, but bearable. Winters get cold, but livable. Just be ready to be outgoing when it comes to making friends. There’s a saying, The East is nice but not polite. We’ll tell you to fuck off for getting in the way, but we’ll go out of our way to help a neighbor when they’re down.
