The setting of the college is not the issue… PC is in a rough part of town and it has an excellent academic reputation.

Hopefully you aren’t too close to Burlington. You’ll hate all the litter, drugs and homeless.

It’s a lot different than Arkansas. But I think you’ll really enjoy it. There’s so much to do in the newton and surrounding towns. Not to mention Boston is a stones throw away

Wait what? Both bottles I posted were under $30 from a discount wine store in Needham… and the omega watch was a thrift find that I was trying authenticate.

I currently live in Newton. I can honestly never see myself leaving. It’s sprawling with 13 different “villages” each with their own charming downtown area. There are tons of great restaurants from any cuisine you can imagine and Boston is literally a 15 minute drive away. The public transportation is fantastic with the green line having 6 stops within the town. The community is thriving and always looks out for each other. The Newton population does not resemble the surrounding towns like Wellesley or Weston. Which is a good thing. As others have mentioned above, the school system is top tier and it’s probably one of the best towns to raise a family in the state, if that’s your plan.

I wouldn’t pay a lot of mind to the people dissing the town because of its wealthy population. Im not wealthy and I rent here. I’ve never once felt out of place. I’ve lived here for many years and people are very friendly. Lots of small businesses and hiking trails. I can’t say enough good things. I’ve lived in many towns across NH, RI, and MA this is my favorite.
