HOUSING

Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I had an excellent experience in sharing an appartment with my friends. Now I know the difficulties too of taking care of an appartment yourself, I think it is really worth it since you have complete independence in every way.
Personal comments:
Since I chose my accomodation independently, in an appartment off-campus I cannot judge the dorms. However, from their outside appearance they did look nice, and pretty new buildings for the most part. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

STUDENT LIFE

Business Studies, University Agreement
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Activities: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
The Rack, Whisky's, and Avalon are excellent places to go out. Boston also has a lot of history, so do not miss the freedom trail. If you can rent a car, do not hesitate to go to Cape Cod. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
Since a science course is requested for all majors in the US, I had to pick an Astronomy course which I, surprisingly, enjoyed greatly and somehow complemented my general education.

Cause life in Boston is really expensive! Hopefully as I was a tranfers student from the Cesem of Reims I did not have to pay for thr Tuittion fees!! Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Housing: was more expensive than at home. Telephone: was the same price as at home.
Personal comments:
the financial surprise is huge!! life is really expensive especially when the euro is low! no special cost saving tips, only that if you can get a job thanks to a special visa it can helps you a lot. It did work for 5 monthes as an intern and as was pretty well paid ( as all the interns in the us) so during this time I lived by myself and saved some money.

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
I would have waited to turn 21 to study in Boston. I sent my first year without being able to go out as a lot of pubs and clubs check the passport only before letting you go in. In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
All appliances are available easily, there is a really good internship provider network. I chose this university because they propose the internship program in an American company as credits. FINAL COMMENTS
Allston/Brighton are goods neighborhoods for students. I recommend the sharing flat solution. It is very common to live this way and it is great to live with american native person or international students. If you want to travel around, you can go to Cape Cod, Newport, or Rockport. The area is full of fisher villages. It is so cute. There are also great deals to go to New York City with Chinatown bus company and to go to Montreal for memorial day. Watch out!!!
