I wish I had known...
If you want to travel around it is good to buy a car together with some of your friends and sell it after the semester. I've spent too much money on renting cars (even if we shared them). Public transport to malls is bad (from campus), but between Boston and New York, Philadelphia and Washington awesome.

Personal recommendation
Try not to spend too much money. If you have the choice do not take an unlimited meal plan - it's too expensive and does not pay off. Every day the same food, after 1 week you can't even look at it.

go to Maine, travel around in MA - there are loads of interesting things to see. Do not forget to go to New York for longer vacations, or for a weekend only. Enjoy your semester, because you are likely not to have another semester at your university which is that much fun.

I traveled a lot before, during and after my study abroad. Boston is close to a lot of great places (ie Montreal or New York for the weekend), so I would encourage people to get out and about.

My semester at Bentley college was awesome. People are very friendly and welcoming. Also, Bentley is wonderful from the acamedic point of view. Classes are very diverse and the professors are comitted and readily available. There is a free shuttle service to Harvard Square in Boston and New York City is not far at all and also very cheap when you take the Fung Wah bus (15Dollars/way)

Go there. It was great. I think the winter semester is the best time to go there because of the weather.
