This is one of the most expensive places in the country to live with one of the lamest job market around. You should try to find a more welcoming area if possible. Landlords around here are scum and the people are rude.

It’s honestly one of the best places for my field. The other place is california which is a lot more expensive. Currently in Texas where starting salary for my field w/degree is 11 dollars :( Got a really good job in Mass already so I am excited.

Same! I’m a 2022 grad, moved from CT this summer to have more job options up here. I know a few people who commute to Boston, but there’s plenty of job opps close to/in Worcester as well. The cost of living here isn’t anywhere near Boston’s, so there’s far more diversity here as far as wealth/culture go. In my area there’s an Asian market and at least two Mexican markets, it’s not the nicest part of Worcester but if you’re looking for authentic food and groceries + cheaper rent I’d recommend it. I can also give you my landlord’s info via pm if you’re interested, they own a handful of buildings throughout the city. Prices are pretty fair and any problems are resolved within a day or two, pets allowed with no additional rent if you have them. I’d also figure out Worcester’s trash pickup system before you move because it’s a little unusual
