I'll be heading to Northeastern. I have no idea where to live and need help! I have a a few friends who live in Cambridge and love it. Would it be a reasonable commute? What about East Cambridge? How would rent compare to other locations? I'm 30, and really want to avoid living in the midst of a ton of undergrads so I've heard that limits some of the closer neighborhoods, maybe. I'd also heard good things about Jamaica Plain... but don't really know. Are there other neighborhoods that are amazing that I should consider?

I just called and spoke with someone in the sociology office, who seemed to think that neither rejections nor acceptances have been informed, and that emails and letters would be coming out "soon" - but she didn't sound comfortable giving any information so not sure if that's the story or not. I'd prefer to think there's still some small chance, but maybe not.
