Brookings is an amazing place to live! Good schools, community, activities, etc. Very happy about the place!
Love the town, but being a transplant from another state, locals are standoffish and critically judgemental. Meeting people, the first two questions I am always asked are, " Where you from?" and "Why'd you move here?" I would have thought that Brookings being a college town, this close minded attitude would not be an issue, but it is...
I like that when you enter any store or building you are either greeted with a "Hello" or a smile from someone, even if they are leaving. You can easily stop and ask for directions and get a pretty good descriptive answer. Brookings might be considered a "college town" but it is a respectable and welcoming college town where everyone supports the local grade schools and the college! Everyone gets involved as much as possible to help out and make sure that visitors have a great experience here!
