Manchester is not diverse. New Hampshire is not diverse when compared to the country. Not diverse doesn't mean every single person is of the same race and ethnicity.

Not just that, even the ancestry is not that diverse. The 3 most common ancestries in NH (Irish English and French) equal 50% of the population. In MA the most common ancestry is "other".

Springfield is 29% http://censusreporter.org/profiles/1...pringfield-ma/

Lynn is 37% http://censusreporter.org/profiles/1...37490-lynn-ma/

This change fast

Anyway, even more so. Random cities in MA are much more racially diverse than Manchester NH (probably the most diverse city in NH).

How exactly am I a bot? I’m just trying to give specific details on what I would like to know in each city I’m considering, and if you actually look closely I alter it a lot, so I’m not exactly a bot.

I assume the OP is still young since he/she is talking about getting a Comp Sci or Engineering degree.

OP, if that is correct, the question and answer you seek is completely irrelevent. My advice is to get your education, then get a job, then look to live near your job and near the action of where the best jobs in your field are regardless of that loaction. So if you find work in Cambridge, I would suggest you live in or close to Cambridge. Now, Cambridge is expensive for sure. So what? Get room mates and build your career. Once you get some experience, begin moving up, and have some stability, then you can think about where to buy. This is all very premature at this point.

Best of luck.

As with many online forums, there are many people who are more interested in giving you personal advice on how to live your life than simply providing answers to the questions you ask OR simply not responding if they can't speak to your question. Control-freaks abound here. Nobody wants their advice in real life, so they think people here do.

To Me, I break them down into 6 parts, since Boston suburbs are pretty different in feel:

-North Shore (Lynn, Revere, Rockport, Ipswich, Gloucester, Salem, Lynnfield)
-South Shore (Braintree, Quincy, Hanover, Scituate, Marshfield, Plymouth, Cohasset)
-Metro West (The Wealthy W's, Dover, Sherborn, Lexington, Concord, Newton)
-SW Metro West (Canton, Hopkinton, Foxborough, Wrentham)
-Merrimack Valley (Lowell, North Andover, Lawrence, Newburyport, Tewksbury)
-New Hampshire (Nashua, Salem, Londonderry, Portsmouth, Hampton)

They all are different in feel and chose an area based on your personality and what you like.

I move out of state because I got sick of living in the city couldn't afford the suburbs in Eastern Mass. My current house in a town with a gold plated school district would cost double in Eastern MA suburbs. In the post-COVID world, I people in tech will be tried less and less to hubs like Boston. If you have family roots in the area, that's a good reason to stay, but you are starting out and don't have connections to the area already, I would think about other areas.
