It's Comcast country for Internet by the way, unless you happen to be in one of the few areas that had/is getting FiOS.

Rent is really high in New England. Single bedroom is about $1500 if you're lucky. I'm Latino too and there's a Hispanic community in town but not sure if there are any community groups. Restarting is tough, I've done it too, so if you find a hobby, you'll meet lots of people right away. Biggest suggestion is buy winter snow pants, boots, coat, etc. It's cheaper outside of the states that always get snow. For this city, maybe try to find places in North Manchester or in a suburb like Hooksett, Bedford, Derry, etc. because it'll be safer. If you do move into town, I'd suggest a security system. Oh, I'd suggest you avoid T-Mobile because coverage in rural NH is spotty. Verizon too. Both drop calls near seacoast and in mountains. I was happy with at&t and I would still be with them but I got into a family plan with my parents. Ultimately, bring a good camera because it's so beautiful out here, so go see the ocean, see the foliage up in the mountains in the fall, and you'll find colonial historic sites all over. Welcome!

Oh by the way, I'm Mexican American and there's not much of us here. The big groups are from El Salvador, Guatemala, and the Dominican Republic. There's a few Mexican restaurants in town and most are just ok but not great.
