    So I didn't attend Tufts or Northeastern but from my understanding Northeastern tends to have more funding available for its students; additionally, Northeastern is located relatively close to a downtown area with all the stores (e.g. Copely square) and would be a much more expensive area to live in/around. Tufts on the other hand is actually located in Medford, which is north of Boston and Cambridge and is substantially cheaper. Now, I don't know if its $9k cheaper but it is cheaper. For instance, you could live really far north of the city in commuting distance to Tufts and find very affordable housing I would expect (compared to the rest of the city, anyway). So to answer your question, it's both, ha. But then again, I haven't lived in either of those areas so take my advice with a grain of salt

    I lived in Boston for a number of years after undergrad, and am planning on heading back to grad school.  It's definitely possible to find housing, but I'd recommend an early start.  A few of my friends have already locked down an apartment for September 1st, and we're planning on looking in early May, which is the soonest we can fly up to find something.  In my experience, it's easier to find affordable places up near Tufts or out by Boston College, but if you really want to be on T or in a specific neighborhood (like JP) it can be a bit more challenging.  I do think you'll find something though, and the nice thing is that if you don't like it chances are a few months later it won't be hard to find something better.  Good luck!

    I went to Tufts for 4 years and have been in the area for another year after. It is not especially difficult to find an apartment around here, in my opinion. I don't think it'd be any more scary and confusing than other locations in the US. It's certainly more expensive to rent than, say, the mid-west, but it's not impossible to live on for a graduate student. Think about how many graduate students are in the Boston area. A ton. They all find a place to live. Take it one day at a time and don't sweat the unknown.

    Thank you so so much @Gvh!! That would be amazing! I am definitely going to take you up on that if he accepts an offer from Tufts or Northeastern!
