Better than Worcester because it is quite a bit closer to New York City. You have pretty easy access to NYC plus all of the areas around it that are the most diverse and wealthiest parts of the country, including the Fairfield, New Haven, Hudson Valley areas.

I mean comparing NYC to Boston is like comparing Toronto or Montreal to, like, Winnipeg or something.

Worcester and Hartford are both kind of lacking in terms of their downtowns proper, but you are very close to cities and towns that have more vibrancy and street life, especially New Haven, but also places like WeHa.
