It is challenging to make friends in this city, for sure. Hopefully you have good people at work/school for social interaction because this is definitely an area of Massachusetts where people stick to themselves and their cliques. Bostonites have fairly tough, cold personalities, but once you get past that and realize it's just the way they come across, you can find great people. It has taken me a few months to realize that. I lived in Oklahoma for 5 years where people are wonderfully warm and friendly - the people up here are completely different.

Finding a job was an extended, painful experience - but that might not be typical. Finding a place to live was fine, but we ended up spending more than we can afford on rent just to live in a neighborhood we knew was safe. Now we're here, we know which areas are safe and where we can move when the lease is up.
