Worcester is a very strange community - parts of it are very rough, it's definitely a classic NE blue-collar community in a lot of ways, but WPI (which is where I'm assuming you're going since you said "good education") has a really nice little campus area.
So yeah - there will be an adjustment, and you'll probably want to avoid entire stretches of town after dark, but they're all relatively minor. There will be a language "culture shock" but on the whole it's not much different.
Also, the "Wooster" is much more like "WUSS-ta" in practice. We'll hold off on the ropes course for now, though - just know you're asking for a soda (not a Coke), a "bubbler" is not just a device for marijuana, and the Western Mass kids will just be weirder than anything you've ever seen before, but you'll eventually get used to it.
