I lived in a very bad neighborhood, I would not reccoment to anyone to live in Mission Hill. My roommate got mugged twice, and had his nose broken. We also got robbed, I lost my laptop and other personnal belongings. So try and find a nice neighborhood. All in all, it was a great experience and I would do it again !

Personal comments
The Rack, Whisky's, and Avalon are excellent places to go out. Boston also has a lot of history, so do not miss the freedom trail. If you can rent a car, do not hesitate to go to Cape Cod.
