FINAL COMMENTS

I lived in a very bad neighborhood, I would not reccoment to anyone to live in Mission Hill. My roommate got mugged twice, and had his nose broken. We also got robbed, I lost my laptop and other personnal belongings. So try and find a nice neighborhood. All in all, it was a great experience and I would do it again !

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.

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!!!

FINAL COMMENTS

Just a thing if you're staying for a long time, you may have troubles around the third month. What I mean about trouble is that you may feel unconfortable in the country, be fed up with everything! Don't worry, it happens to every one, the 3-months cap is always like that, there pretty nothing to do about it!

FINAL COMMENTS

It was, indeed, a wonderful experience. However, I would recommend that anybody willing to study in the United States try to think like an American ASAP. This is a necessary step towards integration.

FINAL COMMENTS

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.
