Real Estate in Boston is terribly expensive, especially near campus. Maybe getting a bigger and cheaper house between a group fo friends in the outskirts would be a good idea. Read Review

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.

Personal social experience
Activities
KEY:
Amazing! Hardly had time to study.
Plenty to do when I had the time.
So-so.
Did not get involved.
Nightlife
Travel
Overall
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.

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.

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.

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 ...
Became familiar with another culture
KEY:
Happened all the time.
Happened quite a lot.
Happened a bit.
Didn't happen.
Traveled
Improved language skills
Met people from other countries
Became more independent
Partied a lot
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies/career
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!!!
