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 !

Housing is really expensive... Instead of eating out, try and make your own sandwiches (it's much cheaper...)

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.
