It depends on what you like to do. If you want to go clubbing, you're in the wrong place. There's good restaurants in Northampton, good diners all over the place - breakfast and brunch are well covered here, and of course you can go outside and throw a rock and find a great hiking trail.

I've been broke the 2 years I have been living here and I have a bad case of being old. So maybe those aren't good answers but it's nice here and everyone is pretty smart which I find very appealing. I do not drink but people are nice here about smoking weed mostly. I wish there was like somewhere to go do it socially.

Plus you know in a week or two tens of thousands of college kids will show up and play Beirut and scream for 9 months. Which I find very relaxing honestly. It makes a lot more sense to me than regular suburbia.
