New Hampshire isn't really a bad place, but it's not exactly the best place either... If you like hiking, fishing, etc. you'll find a lot to do if you go up north. If you go to Southern NH, or you're not an outdoorsy person, you'll be bored to death. Despite what everybody seems to think, the state is not full of hicks. There are some of course, but for the most part we're pretty open-minded. The public schools suck, and so do the overrated private schools.

New Hampshire is a socially maladjusted state that lacks diversity but has opportunity for the educated,priviliged and hard working.It takes a lot of work to make it here if you dont have this.If you dont work very hard,have a degree, sell yourself out,come from a successful family or get very lucky you probably will not go anywhere here.If you like to work hard, there is opportunity here.This isnt for wimps who like mooching the system but it does happen mostly in Nashua and Manchester.Thats why these cities have the most problems.Also some of the border towns like salem and hudson are not the best places to live and raise a family due to the constant transitional influx from mass that deteriotates the quality of living and causes crime but it does help the economy, a catch 22.People do tend to drink a lot here though and not always take the best care of themselves,probably due to stress and pressure of working and the cold winters.

A great state to have a "summer place". New Hampshire is a haven for the wealthy to hide from tax obligations. In order to live in NH and have children who speak in a polysyllabic fashion you have to live in a moneyed town or send them to a private school. New Hamphire educational funding has nothing to do with equity of opportunity (research the Claremont debacle). If you are white, rich, and don't give a damn about the "lower class" (those who clear less than $100,000 a year)then welcome aboard! If you don't qualify for the "club" please don't put yourself or your children through the humiliation of trying to scratch out a living here.

an industrial state full of grouchy, but highly independent minded people

One of the most interesting states in the nation, where just about everything is legal and everyone who isn't white gets pulled over and beaten the moment they cross the border. The weather sucks, but it looks nice in the summer time and not having sales tax is nice as well. Unfortunately, the smart people don't live in New Hampshire, but in the surrounding states near the borders and drive into New Hampshire to shop and return home to live in more affordable areas. It's got some pretty sick roads, which are unfortunately polluted by residents not knowing how to drive their Subarus, see also maine. Overall, one of those states that looks nice in a book or magazine, but you'd never want to visit.

WORST STATE. I FUCKING HATE THE PLACE. CURRENTLY LIVING IN THE SEABROOK-HAMPTON AREA. MOVED HERE FROM CALI BOUT 4 YEARS AGO AND IM SURPRISED I HAVENT KILLED MYSELF. VERY VERY HARD TO ADAPT, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE OF HISPANIC-AMERICAN RACE. NO QUESTION, IT'S THE WORST, WORST, WORST STATE FOR MINORITIES TO LIVE IN. EVERYTHING FROM RESIDENTS, TO WEATHER, AND SCHOOLs. GOD DAMN I HATE THIS STATE, I SWEAR, Cold as fuck, and its really snowing as im typing this. my west coast style music is playing and its 10 degrees out. people ask me why i moved and im still searching for an answer.

Place where massholes like me go when we can afford to live in Massachusetts anymore. Living in housing and being poor sucks.

new hampshire
The WORST fucking state to live in. I hope whoever discovered this fucking state is burning in hell. This state is full of rednecks and people who think they are better than everyone else. All the people call us massholes but excuse me? You people are the lowest form of life that has been my misfourtune to know. If it wasn't for Massachusetts (and an Italian guy) this country wouldn't exist but anyways this state sucks complete ass and no wonder why everyone hates it
