Student Opinions About Studying in Boston

“I followed the advice others gave me before moving to Boston, about choosing your neighbourhood depending on where you will need to be every day. They were right, because commuting in Boston can be intense because of the traffic, and also the drivers here are a bit aggressive most of the time.”

“Having a social life here can be a real challenge, because it’s such a commuter city, but also because people with normal jobs in Boston live in a way that tries to minimise unnecessary costs because the basics are so expensive. What this means is that people are less spontaneous when it comes to going out to a bar or restaurant together.”

“Using a bike or just walking are your best bets for getting around the city, since most of the places you need to be as a student are located fairly near to each other. Even so, I would make sure you get the University Pass for transport for the times that you really need it.”
