As long as you respect Vermont for what it is and understand the ways in which it differs from a lot of other places, that'll put you miles ahead of many other out-of-staters we get here. It seems to be a theme that folks will move here without knowing what it's really like, and when they realize that they can't get DoorDash in their rural town or go to the store at 11pm or there isn't public transportation, then the complaints start. To take it a step further, if those people have enough money to gain any sort of influence, they begin to want to change things and that's usually where the red line is drawn. Basically, we don't mind out-of-staters in general, but we value our state and our way of life, and we resent it when people come here and bitch about it, or try to make it more like the place they came from, instead of appreciating Vermont for what it is. As long as you're not That Person, you'll be totally fine! Definitely come by for a visit sometime if you're considering moving; while it's hard to totally capture the vibe of a place with just a short visit, it should still give you a fairly good idea. :)
