Nice village to live in with good mutual contacts

Very nice village with the downside that accessibility by public transport is poor.

Mediocre

Yes, Stadskanaal is nice to live in, everything is well organised and there's plenty to do if you also have a car, and it's nice and close to Germany. But the youth at school is a problem. Everyone is unkind to each other, they take relationships for just a few months at a time, and everyone talks behind each other's backs, and online they post things about each other, and speaking of which, I myself was posted online two days ago with a photo of me and my address included. But it's been taken down fortunately, but it's still a strange thing to do. But yeah, that kind of weird stuff happens here.

A neighbourhood that keeps to itself.

The neighbourhood has little contact with each other because people here are quite independent. Sometimes we do have contact, but that's just a small chat when we happen to run into each other. The only people you see/hear hanging out together here often abuse alcohol.

A nice neighbourhood where they do a lot together with BBQ parties or on Neighbour's Day is always super fun
