Moving from NJ to Connecticut what are similarities/differences?

Question

thanks!

Answer 1

There are very few differences. It's mostly the same. If you want to go into culture shock, move to the Midwest. Midwesterners and North Easterners are like night and day.

Answer 2

NJ is no different from CT. The terrain is basically the same. The "nice neighborhoods" are nothing more than big boring provincial suburbs of NYC full of married couples, their 2.6 children and their dogs. If you are single, don't move to CT. People elsewhere call Connecticut "Connecticut Patheticut" It is exactly the same as suburban Long Island or New Jersey except that NJ and LI have nice beaches; CT has mud puddles, most of which (in Fairfield County at least) are privatized anyway. Fairfield County is the richest per capita county in the country or something like that. The people who own the wealth do not believe in sharing it, though. Everything is privatized. Some areas outside of Fairfield County are quite depressed. The cost of of living is high and Interstate 95 is basically a very very long parking lot.



I prefer Westchester.

Answer 3

omg how weird!
I moved form nj to ct!
well, theres WAY too many cars in jersey/WAY too many ppl!
CT is cleaner, better education, richer ppl, better houses for half the price of jersey, not much to do around here other than getting wasted at house parties, go shopping, movies, beaches during summer, skiing/snowboarding in winter . wtvr.. you know? I think that nj more diverse in both races and like types of people. If you're kinda out of the norm here, you'll be a big outcast. You sort of have to fit the looks, attitude, class to be part of it. It sounds crude, but it's true. It also depends what part of CT you live in. There are the extreme suburbs like avon, simsbury, southington, west hartford, farmington... and then there are ghettos like hartford, weaver, bloomfield... If you live in the old lyme area, you'll be extremely lucky during the summer season cause that's like really close to long island sound and like ALL the beaches of CT.

Connecticut just ranked 4th on thinnest states! New Jersey was 10th. Connecticut has lousy beaches. NJ has great beaches. Connecticut has Hartford. NJ has Trenton!!

Answer 5

Both have KFCs. One stinks, the other doesn't. One has Princeton, the other has Yale. Both have a hockey team. Wait, what happened to the Whalers? Nevermind.

Yeah I'm from the Midwest and it is like we're from two different worlds. Of course, our world has soap and toothpaste.
