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.

Again, the United States, and more specifically, Boston, is a very expensive place. Be ready to spend a lot of money, however, most of the times you can make it worth it.

Academic
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.

Personal comments
For Northeastern students, Our House East is a must. Apart from that, the city is too big and there are too many great night spots to start naming.

Housing
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.
