Up the Printing Quota!

The computers at school are outstanding, and can be found in pretty much any building. Computers line the halls in the College of Arts and Sciences. Computer rooms can be found in Sargent, Communications, School of Management, the Science building, etc. There is definitely not a shortage there, not to mention a plethora of computers to chose from in Mugar library and SMG libray. These computers are all very advanced, and fast. Wireless access is also wonderful--you can connect in your classrooms, the dining halls, dorms, and even outside. One thing I feel that is particularly lacking is the print quota. All of my professors use powerpoint presentations to lecture, and a printing quota of 100 pages is most certainly absurd and unrealistic when they prefer you to have the notes printed. I breeze through the quota in less than 1/4 through the semester and end up needing to buy convenience points to afford the printing.

So Much Nightlife, So Little Time!

There is a plethora of nightlife variety to choose from in Boston, accessible through subway or bus! Downtown Boston has many clubs to go to if you like dancing and good music. It, as well as Allston, where many students live, have plenty of bars to go to as well. You are also sure to find plenty of house parties--students love to entertain in their apartments. Underage nightlife pretty much can only be found through these parties, as there is only 1 club I can think of that has 18+ admissions, though I find it rather trashy. As someone who is of age, I can tell you that I have been able to check out bars and clubs all over Boston. Transportation is great because you have the T system, and the very reliable bus system. The only downside is that the T closes at 12:50, when bars or parties close at or around 2AM. Taking a cab back from any of these events can get very expensive. If you're not into partying or dancing, there are 2 really nice movie theaters to go to, and of course, so many AMAZING restaurants to dine at!
