Personal comments
Best cafes on Newbury st., pretty close to Emmanuel College. Excelent Jazz concerts in bars at night and parks during daytime. Delicious seafood at Union Oyster House, speciality in Lobsters. Other pretty good restaurants at Quincy Market area and Chinatown. Student's favourite night club: Avalon, dance, house and trance music, really close to Emmanuel College. Also, good pool halls at the same area.

Personal spending habits
Concerning accomodation, Boston is the third most expensive city in the US, after New York an Los Angeles. I payed 300 $ each month for a 12 saquare meters underground room I shared with a friend who payed the same !
On the other hand, phoning my biyfriend somewhere else in the US cost me almost nothing

Course recommendations
The subjects are really easy comparing to what I did in Spain. The only thing people have to take in mind is that they will have to read a lot as you are asked to read one whole chapter from one day to the other. This is specially frustrating at the beginning if you're not used to read in english.

Course recommendations
American university provides, in general, a good student/faculty ratio. Thus, the relationship with the professors is easy and close. Take advantage of it and learn as much as you can. There's an enourmous variety of courses, choose wisely according to your objectives and possibilities.

There's plenty of scholarships for American students. However, I would suggest more efforts from the University regarding scholarships for international students.

Hard to say as I am an MBA. I would recommend that you research the subject and maybe find out from students who have taken the class previously whether it was any good.
