Transplant from up north - 5/6/2020
I moved to Orangeburg 7 months ago from up north and have mostly learned/adapted to enjoy it. I’ll admit I was worried about the crime statistics, but there are very nice parts of town, just like anywhere else. Locals I’ve interacted with are all very nice, but they will warn you about going out after dark and avoiding trouble. There are major cultural differences at times.
