Accomodations are really good.The only thing, if you are junior or senior don't ever chose to live in Warren Towers. I have an appartment style and is very independent.

Personal comments
Boston is a very fun city for students and people in general.Is very true that work is so hard speacilly for an international student (but is worth) so time to go out is really small. In Harvard Square there are nice bars, also in Harvard Av. Near the campus there are a lot of alternatives.
