Hi all,
I'm planning on attending BU for a STEM PhD starting this fall, and am looking for advice on neighborhoods near the university. I'm considering Cambridge because I've heard that if you have MA plates and are a Cambridge resident, you can register for a parking permit for $36. This is kinda important to me because I'd like to travel to my SO (~4 hour trip) when I can.
Is what I heard true? How far is Cambridge from the main campus (particularly the engineering buildings)? Is rent in this neighborhood usually higher than in neighborhoods closer to the university?
Any advice is appreciated!
