HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: with 12 roomates !
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I would find 2 or 3 good friends to live with me in our own place instead of living with 12 roomates (great) BUT with the 2 owners... no party possible !
Personal comments:
I was living 5 minutes'walk from the campus and I had the choice between twob train station to go downtown. What was great was living with 12 international roomates. The bad point was that the Japanese owners were also living in the house. No party, and quite no friends allowed in the house/ garden.

1) T's Bar (Massachussets avenue) : a karaoke bar with coktails for less than 3 $ - Great souvenirs ! 2) Cape Cod should be visited : 1 hour South Boston... dream beaches, bodyboard, wild woods, lovely arts villages... 3) I forgot the name of the very popular spanish night club ; salsa all night and drinks allowed on the top of the building (a splendid This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. How much did you improve your English?
My level before: At ease in most situations My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
What helped me a lot to communicate/meet students was the dynamism of two associations : 1) GISA = Graduate international students association 2)MBA students association I thank them again ! barbecues, partys, journeys, ... everything was an excuse to organise something This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
EXPENSES

Main source of funding:
Family Other sources of funding:
Family Personal savings Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
Concerning accomodation, Boston is the third most expensive city in the US, after New York an Los Angeles. I payed 300 $ each month for a 12 saquare meters underground room I shared with a friend who payed the same ! On the other hand, phoning my biyfriend somewhere else in the US cost me almost nothing Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Housing: was more expensive than at home. Food: was the same price as at home. Telephone: was less expensive than at home.
