As someone from Vermont who moved to Minnesota for a few years (before moving back) I have some advice!

Be prepared for a bit of culture shock. Vermonters can seem much colder and unfriendly compared to the Midwest. It's true that you're not as likely to find people willing to engage in small talk and they'll probably seem a bit blunt. But if you're ever in need, we'll be right there to help. And once you get to know us, you'll have friends for life who will do anything for you. (When I moved it was a real challenge at first when trying to make friends. People would say that they wanted to get together to be polite, but not mean it for example.)
