Boston College (BC)

That international students are not allowed to be paid if they do an internship off-campus unless they have been in the country for a whole academic year before.

Enjoy as much as possible.

BECAUSE IT S THE BEST PRICE/QUALITY RELATION

Save money, rental are very expensives in Boston. As when sharing with romates, you are not alone and can have the support from someone knowing the city.

I'd rather live in an apartment/house because: 1.- Considering rent, food and utilities, the final living cost for an apartment is lower than on Campus. 2.- No need of sharing the room with your roommate and restrooms with the rest of the students living in the same floor. 3.- More flexibility and quality regarding meals. Living on campus implies eating the food the cafeteria/Dining hall offers and at the scheduled time. 4.- Dorms are usually noisy spaces because there are too many students, with different schedules and different objectives. Therefore, it's difficult to have the appropriate environment for effective study.

At home I lived with my parents at that time, therefore, all the expenses related to living costs increased. Food and accomodation are more expensive in the U.S. than in Spain. Telephone expenses also increased haivng to call to Spain. nightlife is really up to your spare time and your personal choice. I summary living abroad resulted more expensive than living at home for me.
