What college are you going to? Former college student here. Loved my college days experience here (went to UNH in Durham). Been to all the schools once or twice including Dartmouth. People are surprisingly friendly but also don’t take offense if people just walk fast and ignore you. NH does well at being friendly but respecting your neighbors privacy if that makes sense. People are pretty punctual out here. As others said our summers are world famous and our winters are infamous.

You’re going to need a car at some point to really enjoy the state/New England as a whole. I couldn’t have a car freshman year but did sophomore year on.

Good luck my friend welcome to the 603!
