Review of Rochester, Minnesota


clean, quiet...boring
Star Rating - 10/24/2006
I've grown up in Southeastern Minnesota since I was 7 and while it's a great area, it's very boring for the younger crowd. The people are pretty nice for the most part, but it seems like they all would rather keep to themselves then be sociable, and it's hard to get out and meet people if you don't fit into one of the very very few cliques. People are pretty conservative and close minded and if you stray too far away from the tree you aren't really accepted into the social circles, and it will be hard to find people with similar tastes. I could go on and on about the negative sides and this is just one point of view, so do some research to see if it's right for you. It's beautiful area, very safe city and area, good place to raise a family I'm sure. Just too fake and boring and unstimulating for me.
