Bristol is a compact, livable city anchored by ESPN’s large Bristol campus and New England’s historic Lake Compounce amusement park, so a multi‑week assignment feels more like a short urban stay with built‑in entertainment and local personality than being stuck in a nowhere posting.
It’s about 20 miles (≈30 minutes) to Hartford and roughly 38 miles (≈40–50 minutes) to New Haven, giving easy weekend access to bigger‑city dining, arts, hospitals and transit if you want more nightlife or amenities while you work.
