Can someone tell me more about New England College's location? I've visited their site a couple of times but can't really grasp what it's like to live there from pictures.
New England College is located in Henniker, New Hampshire. It's a small town about 20 minutes away from Concord, which is the state capital.
Henniker is a quaint small town, often described as quintessential New England with its beautiful old houses, a traditional town green, and the Contoocook River running right through the heart of town. You'll find a nice mix of local shops and restaurants in the town center.
For outdoor enthusiasts, New Hampshire offers wonderful opportunities for skiing, hiking, and other outdoor sports, especially with Pats Peak Ski Area located right in Henniker. The college is also adjacent to the river, which provides opportunities for kayaking and canoeing.
Since it's a small town, do note that it may not have all the amenities of larger cities, but Concord, Manchester and even Boston are accessible if you're seeking a more bustling urban experience now and then.
However, always remember that each person's experience is unique; what one person may enjoy another may not, and vice versa. It's always a great idea to try and visit in person if possible to truly get a feel for the area and see if it aligns with your preferences.
