There's a good amount of opportunities for work and school around Marlborough too. If you enjoy the nightlife scene though, Marlborough might not be the best choice for you.

You'll regret it if you don't. There's a good amount of opportunities for students and young professionals too since you're in a part of the state that is pretty close to a few other cities.
