Best, tax free. Worst, lack of diversity and depending on your interests lack of night life. However in a college town I think you’d be okay on the things to do front

I'm from New Mexico, I've been learning how to the pass the time without things to do other than hiking for all my life 😂, and you guys have a lot of pretty cool trails from what I've seen

Hiking, skiing, hunting, shooting, snowshoeing, camping, rock climbing, bike riding, ice climbing, fishing, ice fishing, ATV riding, snowmobile riding, and similar shit. It's an outdoors state-do outdoors shit.

Cool, so basically same here, except your guys'winter activities are actually fun because you have more than 3in of snow that's also fresh and not just straight ice lol

Uh, guys, who wants to tell him.

Oh no, does that happen every where? I just assumed it only happened here because the weather is bipolar so it'll go from snowing to 70's to the negatives in one day

The skiing sub that's popular in this neck of the woods is r/icecoast.
That's OK - we just get to use our edges more in NE :)

On the motorized front: snowmobiling. If it ain’t in the shop, it’s on exposed trails. This year sucked.

The last few years have been pretty bad in Southern, NH. Only a few weeks of rideable trails with mostly bare ground between storms.

Mud Season. There, I said it

This would be my wife's answer. I kind of enjoy the challenge of a muddy dirt road on my way home and driving a car around that looks like it went for a swim in mud though :)

I want to go to there

Oh you’ll be good then! I lived there most of my life but NH just wasn’t for me so I went to Boston. Enjoy!

Henry please take us all to New Mexico with you. I'll pay for gas.
Only partially kidding. As in not kidding if you say yes.
In all honesty, the most beautiful thing I've ever seen is Diana's Baths. I'm as previously stated jaded by family court, but you wouldn't believe the waterfalls that are up here and they are just as beautiful in the winter :) yet probably almost as cold in the summer! Still worth a swim. When you read no swimming such as Glen Ellis falls, it just means it's too cold too swim but no one cares. That's worth a Google, and make sure you bring your camera errrr cell phone you'll have it, nevermind.
The first time I went was last year! Always amazed, I'm 38 years old and I'm still discovering hidden beauty here. Perhaps I should collect the tourist pamphlets.. Thought I knew all about NY until I read them when I left 😂 what a bummer I missed out on a lot.
No one will take me snowboarding because I suck at it, so I can't help much there. One nessessary left out piece of advice no one here would think of!!
When your hands are cold, and you come inside you've got to run them under cool, then lukewarm, then warm water. Going straight to hot will bring on unimaginable torment. Also, insults are our very different sense of humor than the south. No one is picking on you, they expect you to insult them worse and for it to be funny. Make it count Brother.
Welcome 🤗

Tax free is a lie. It's just a shell game.
