You need a plug converter from 110 to 230 V. If your appliance is more than 50W in power, there is chance that the adaptator is more expensive than the appliance itself.

It's a pretty well located university in the city. The city is absolutely awesome. Take advantage of associations and groups organized, professionally and socially.



FINAL COMMENTS

Boston is in New England, relatively close to cities like New York and to Canada. The univerity plans trips to all the interesting spots almost every weekend, check it out! Once again, take advantage of the accessibility of the faculty and learn! American university has a high percentage of international students, compared to European universities. Therefore, be openminded to new experiences and adapt to the local culture and to the people from other countries you'll meet. If you do that, you will enjoy your stage for sure :-)
