Personal spending habits
telephone is much more expensive in the States than in Europe in general. Nightlife in Boston is in particular very expensive (entry fees + drinks). Housing on-campus in extremely expensive, even compared to off-campus housing. Travel and food are quite inexpensive due to the level of tax in the States.

Course recommendations
business classes are great, the professors are all professionals, the resources are incredible (marketing center, financial center,..). Also try some "exotic" classes like e.g. Introduction to Acting! Loved it!
