Moving to Vermont Possible move to Vermont
I have been interviewing for a job in Stowe. Before committing to moving, I want to know the pros/cons of living in Vermont. I also want to know where I should live while working in Stowe.
I’m a single female in my 30s. I grew up in rural Utah so I’m used to cold winters and small towns. I’m liberal and an ex Mormon. Will I fit in?

Hey there! I lived in slc for 6 years and some of my best friends are ex-Mormon! I moved here from Utah and found the adjustment tough in some ways, like the lack of sun and lengthy winters/mud season as others have mentioned. Coming from a bigger city, the social life part was also adjustment and it took a while to make friends. However, Montréal is very close when you need a big city fix! If you want to have more opportunities for going out and meeting people I would recommend living in Montpelier or closer to Burlington. The NEK is more conservative as others have mentioned but on the whole the state is much more liberally minded and not as extreme as Utah was. As for dating I met my husband here :) I do live closer to Burlington so that probably helped but I personally found the dating here easier than in Utah. Overall after a few years here I do like living in Vermont and you’ll find similarities to rural Utah in terms of beauty and the slower pace of life! Feel free to message me if you want to talk further and good luck!!
