I found the Exeter area a difficult nut to crack. Coming from out of state, Pennsylvania people are very guarded and do not seem very friendly at first. This made for a very difficult transition into the schools here. Also, be aware that there are two gunclubs nearby as well as several landfill sites that compromise quality of life in the area, adding to noise, water and air pollution. We were forced to move to find better schools. Close Quote
