Ok I dunno who keeps posting that NH sucks but they can't be more wrong. It's a beautiful state that offers beaches, mountains, and Boston all within 45 min. You get the best of all 4 seasons, fall is the best with the gorgeous foliage. We were one of the original colonies and the first to vote in the primaries and people from outside of New England don't even know we exist, nevermind give us credit for anything. We have no sales tax and the only bad thing is that all the Massholes come up to shop here, but it's ok cuz we get their money.

The most underrated state in the nation. Short drive to the city, to the shore and to the mountains. Massachusetts winos' savior on Sunday. Massachusetts whinos' savior around Christmas.
I love New Hampshire.

An uber-liberal, semi-rural 4-yr college in Western MA.
Hampshire College is a member of the Five College Consortium and is viewed as the eccentric hippie school. A well known myth maintains that the characters in Scooby Doo were based on the colleges in the Consortium. Hampshire is said to have been the basis for Shaggy although it did not open until 1970, after the show first aired.
Students receive evaluations rather than grades. Even if you ask, professors will not convert your eval to a grade. Each student has an adviser who, unlike at most schools, tends to actually have a significant role in the student's life.
Hampshire is unique in that it has a Farm Center and blacksmithing forges. Its strong subject areas are in the Natural Sciences and Film & Photography.
Hampshire has a small population, but students can take classes, enroll in clubs, and party at the other four schools so diversity (except ideological) and resources are not as limited as at other schools of a similar size.

"Isn't Will great? He just edited this essay I wrote for my Amherst class."
"Yeah, he gave me some really helpful advice last week. God...Will is fucking hilarious. I can't wait until I take another class with him next semester."
"The White Folks Against Racism Coalition is campaigning for the school to establish a post for an anti-racism professor."
"What is this idealistic bullshit? Hampshire College's budget and endowment are so shitty we have to pay for the library's printer paper."

A highly underrated state. New Hampshire takes pride in how much everyone either ignores it, or stereotypes it and lives up the immortal hype of being one of the most beautiful states in the country. It's also one of the least diverse states, but that shouldn't discourage anyone from living here.
New Hampshire residents are probably some of the most friendly people that you'll meet in New England. We're also much nicer than the majority of the people from Mass and we also don't drive like complete assholes. (Oops, that must be my NH snobbery speaking. My bad, folks!) And contrary to what most people think, there are things to do in this state. If you don't like shopping in southern New Hampshire, you can always travel up north to Mount Washington and attempt to hike it.
If that doesn't satisfy you, our beaches might. Thousands flock to the seacoast during the summer time until early fall. And if you're still not satisfied, our seasons will whet your appetite for anything aesthetically pleasing. New Hampshire also has some of the best colleges and schools in the country and it doesn't tax its citizens on virtually everything.
The only downside is its lack of extensive innovation and opportunities. New Hampshire likes to believe that it still lives in the 90's, which isn't necessarily a horrible thing either.

The best state to live in. People are down to earth, normal, and know how to drink beer. With a 45 min drive to boston and Manch Vegas one can never get bored of this senic state. Go to the beach, moutains, and the city all in one day. Add in some fall and some wicked nice summers and you couldnt ask for anything more.

Used in reference to the 2008 Democratic primary in New Hampshire. In that election voters supposedly lied about who they voted for, and skewed the polls.

New Hampshire is a beautiful and great state. It has beaches, cities, mountains, awesome falls, snow, and spring and the best summer vacations.
Think of the shire from LOTR. It's like that. XD
You can eat strawberries and cream, you can dance with dtrangers, you can play any instrument you want even if you don't know how to play it and get positive reactions...
It's probably one of the nicest, if not THE nicest places to live... :D
Down to earth yet friendly people. Great schools. woot.
It's got the white mountains, the basin, cities, the seashore, rocky beach, rockport, boston nearby, littleton, cheap wine... heh... everything.
